Koutela 2019 Xydakis Microwinery is the red wine that you were asking for every year since George Xydakis came into our lives with his wines. So, this year we have managed and reserved some of the very few bottles of Koutela.
Xydakis Microwinery was founded in 2001 and included an old vineyard with Cycladic varieties, with which George Xydakis began to work as an amateur by bottling some wines for friends and wine lovers. His philosophy includes wines from old vines, mainly from Mykonos but also from the surrounding islands, with minimal interventions and indigenous yeasts.
Koutela 2019 Xydakis Microwinery is no exception. In fact, it is one of his most special wines because it combines both local and international varieties (from the homonymous Koutela vineyard). The blend consists of 44% Mavrotragano, 16% Kountoura (Mandilaria), 16% Mavro Potamisi, 10% Mavri Askatharia, 5% Mavri Xeromachairou, 3% Agianniotiko, 3% Syrah, 3% Sangiovese. The wine matures for 12 months, in oak barrels and then it is bottled unfiltered, enclosing exuberant aromas and spicy flavors.
Of course, we are talking about limited bottles which are usually pre sold to restaurants and collectors.
