DOMAINE KOKKINOS XINOMAVRO 2010

One of the younger and less known wine-producers of the historic area of Naoussa, Stavros Kokkinos, has decided to get in the wine business the latest years. Following his passion and instinct, in 2000 he managed to obtain land in some of the best and well-known vineyards in POP Naousa zone, at Dalamari, Paliokalias and Gastra. In these 3 proven outstanding terroirs, he grows the Xinomavro variety with unique desire and attention to details.

In its second year of vinification, Domain Kokkinos Red 2010 is a more modern approach to Naoussa without the lyricisms of more traditional and classical Xinomavro. Its depth, complexity and balance are impressive and they grant it with fanatic friends!

It matured for at least for 12 moths in oak barrels, so it can surely wait for 30 more minutes in a carafe so as to enjoy it at its best. Can't you?

In the glass, its colour is ruby-red with red highlights.

Ripe black fruit are accompanied by intense aromas of prune and fig. The well-intergrated barrel is expressed through vanilla aromas, sweet spices and chocolate hints which complement the characteristic but delicate sun-dried tomato.

In the palete, its medium body is characterised by perfect balance between noticeable acidity and ripe, well-worked tannins. The dried fruit persist in the mouth more spicy while the long-lasting aftertaste lingers.
