Why do we love it?

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?

Tastes Like

Old Roots Xinomavro Domaine Tatsis has an intense ruby-red color with purple hues. In the nose, the fruit expression is impressive with cranberry, sour cherry, strawberry, and cherry aromas jumping off the glass. Tomato paste, licorice, bitter chocolate, and cocoa are combined with clove and cinnamon while leather and ink hints complete the uniquely complex bouquet which continues to develop as the wine breathes.

In the mouth, it is medium-bodied with the characteristic acidity of Xinomavro and the intense tannins that are indicative of its youth. The fruit is intense with the cherry and raspberry stealing the show. The long-lasting aftertaste leaves the sense of bitter chocolate and licorice in the mouth.

OLD ROOTS XINOMAVRO 2018 - DOMAINE TATSIS

PAIR IT

with game, meat in red sauce and yellow mature cheeses.

Ossobuco with gremolata and risotto Milanese

  • 4 thick beef shanks
  • 2 tbsps. of flour
  • 2 medium sized onions, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 carrots, cut into thick pieces
  • 1 can tomatoes concassed
  • 1 liter of fresh meat broth (or 1 cube of beef broth dissolved in 1 liter of water)
  • 1 tbsp. of tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf

for the risotto

  • 75g of butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 250g rice for risotto
  • 1 pinch of saffron
  • 850ml chicken broth
  • 60gr Parmesan cheese, finely gratted

for the gremolata

  • lemon zest
  • good handful of chopped parsley
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped

For ossobuco: Heat a little olive oil in a large pan. Flour the meat, put it in the pan as soon as the olive oil heats up and leave until it is browned on both sides. Remove it and add onion, garlic and carrots to the pan. Cook them until they are slightly softened. Put the mixture in a pot with lid, add tomatoes, broth, tomato paste and bay leaf, and let it boil for 10 minutes on high heat by stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium - low, add the meat, close the pot with the lid and leave for 4 to 5 hours or until the meat is tender. Season with salt and pepper and it’s ready. Mix the ingredients of gremolata and keep it aside for serving.

For the risotto: Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté onion for 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook for a few minutes by stirring continuously to avoid sticking to the pan. Add the saffron to chicken broth, stir well and add a tablespoon to the pan, each time. Stir continuously until the broth is absorbed and then add the next tablespoon. After 20 minutes, check if the rice has been cooked - the grains should still have a very small crispness. Once it’s ready, add Parmesan and plenty of seasoning.

To serve, spread the gremolata over the meat and put the risotto on the side.
