Through an intense ruby color with purple highlights, the first notes reveal a full-bodied wine with aromas of ripe red berries and plums. On the palate, it continues to impress with its robust body, which gains in nervousness and liveliness thanks to its well-controlled acidity and its velvety tannins. The finish surprises with its pleasant length. It should be noted that this is an unfiltered wine: a slight deposit may form over time.

This results in wines that run out extremely fast. Apostolos Thymiopoulos is a man who loves his land and you can easily understand a walk with him in his beloved vineyards, where he will passionately talk about his favorite xinomavro, the use of biodynamic practices, and ... traces of wild boar clumsily clawing the soil around the roots and devouring the grapes from its vineyards. It is fortunate or even privileged to have some of the most beautiful vineyards in Naoussa, which are of great diversity and their names show strength, tradition and charm. Many consider the person who changed the tasty profile of xinomavro 180 degrees, giving wines with lighter tannins, acidity and much more fresh red fruit than in previous wines. However, his wines always have his personal appearance.
