You will remember the Markovitis winery as having one of the best Xinomavro in the Naoussa region. So it's time to try it in its rosé version as well. The first organic vineyard in Greece seems that has given many gifts to this variety!
The young Markos Markovitis, returning from his oenological studies at LVWO Winsberg in Germany, continues for the 3rd generation the historic winery of Naoussa and firmly believes that the winemaker must be completely identified with the variety he cultivates. The specialty of the winery is the 140-acre single vineyard, planted in 1972 by his grandfather, which is a very special ecosystem by itself. The production is specific and every year it gives grapes with strength and excellent fruit maturity.
For Xinomavro Rose 2023, the harvest was done manually and the wine was fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, while malolactic fermentation was also applied. The combination of the above brought a very attractive result with the fruity freshness of the variety being underlined by its typical tomato character, reminding of its origin!
We had it and loved it with aubergines stuffed with braised veal and feta cheese, now that it's still fresh. But we said that it will evolve tremendously in 2-3 years!
