Thymiopoulos Naoussa 2021

Thymiopoulos Naoussa is praised for its earthy, red fruit flavors, and excellent value. It features notes of cherry, raspberry, and spices, with a medium body and slightly grippy tannins. While some find it harmonious and smooth, others suggest it benefits from decanting or cellaring. Its lively finish and complex nose make it a versatile choice for pairing with various cuisines.

A quintessential expression of Xinomavro from the Naoussa region, this wine presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its robust character. The nose is a complex tapestry of sun-dried tomato, black olive, and rose petal, underscored by a subtle earthiness. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied structure with firm, yet refined tannins and a vibrant acidity that speaks to its aging potential. Flavors of red cherry and dried herbs are interwoven with hints of anise and leather, leading to a long, savory finish. This wine stands as a benchmark for the region's traditional style.
