Why do we love it?
With your eyes closed, you think that you are drinking a fine Xinomavro, and as soon as you open them… boom! You're drinking Xiropotamos 2018 from Domaine Tatsis, a wonderful white wine from Xinomavro!
We will tell you a story about two guys. Two brothers who are definitely the most rock (almost heavy metal) wine producers in Greece. Two guys that have parted ways with commercial yeasts, conventional and predictable vinification. Their intervention in their wines is at the level of friendly backlash.
That's exactly the case with Xiropotamos 2018. The red Xinomavro was unconventionally vinified by the blanc de noir method, with the immediate removal of the skins from the must to prevent it from being colored (almost). So, the resulting wine is white. The wine ferments with indigenous yeasts, matures for about a year on its lees contact and it is bottled unfiltered. Xiropotamos 2018 is a complete and special wine that has fanatical friends around the world.
Uniquely complex, perfectly balanced with an intense tomatoey character, the Xiropotamos 2018 Domaine Tatsis is an unmissable wine that will excite you in every sip!
