The shockingly good Old Roots Xinomavro Domaine Tatsis is a Xinomavro from one of the oldest vineyards of Goumenissa, by two of the most pioneering and eccentric Greek winemakers. If these are not enough, then add, the great awards in major international wine competitions.
The Tatsis brothers, Stergios and Periklis, cultivate the beloved variety of Xinomavro by applying biodynamic methods at the unique terroir of Gerakona plot in Goumenissa, in one of the first vineyards of the post-phylloxera era.
The 2018 vintage was especially good for Goumenissa, with excellent weather conditions which helped in the ideal ripening of the fruit while the low yield which does not exceed 400 kgr per acre, contributed to the amazing concentration of flavors and aromas. The wine fermented with ambient yeasts and matured in second-use French oak barrels for more than 12 months. Then, it was bottled without stabilization and filtration, integrating all the characteristics of the dynamic variety.
Old Roots Xinomavro Domaine Tatsis is the jewel of the region. Although still young, it has all the characteristics of a great red wine which will continue to develop for at least 15 – 20 years more! Can you wait?
