Description

This refined, elegant Xinomavro is crafted by a small boutique producer from Siatista in north-western Macedonia. Diamantis is known for reviving this ancient, but forgotten wine region. The grapes for Diamantis Xinomavro are sourced from old vines, grown on rocky limestone soils at altitudes up to 950 metres above sea level. The wine opens up with captivating aromas of currants and cherries, sweet spices and delicate herbal notes. Powerful tannins and ample freshness suggest that the wine will age gracefully in the bottle.

Finely balanced, Diamantis Xinomavro is a unique, mid-weight expression of this ancient grape. The wine reflects the quality of the finest selected vineyards of the region. Wildly fermented and bottled unfined and unfiltered, it preserves the grape aromas in their purest form.

Amy Wislocki, Decanter Magazine, 91 points:

Dimitris Diamantis is working to revive the appellation of Siatista in northern Greece, where his Xinomavro vines grow at altitudes of up to 900m on rocky limestone soils. There is discernible oak influence here – the wine spends 12 months in 500L old oak barrels – but it’s integrated well, balancing the savoury, tomato and red fruit aromas and flavours, and good acidity. Only 15,000 bottles made.

Tasting pannel, Decanter Magazine, 89 points:

Expressive nose with floral and herbal notes. Elegant and approachable palate with a moderate finish. This is a stylish expression of Xinomavro.

Wine Origins

Greece

Even though Greece is often referred to as an 'emerging' winemaking country, it is actually one of the most ancient wine cultures in the world. Moreover, Greece takes credit for spreading the art of winemaking (and wine drinking!) across the Mediterranean and the Black sea regions. In fact, it was the ancient Greeks who taught the French and the Italians how to make wine. In a word, Greece truly is one of the countries of the Wine Origins!

Diamantis

This boutique producer takes credit for reviving the Moschomavro grape, one of the most exciting emerging varieties in Greece, as well as for putting Siatista, a long-forgotten mountain region, on the international wine map. Diamantis Winery dates back to the beginning of the 20th century when the first vines were planted on the Diamantis family land. The vines were Xinomavro, as well as several local Siatista grapes.
