- A complex and typical Xinomavro, showing aromas of ripe red berries, strawberries, dark cherries, licorice, sundried tomatoes, and delicate spice. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, with a rich depth of fruit, concentrated savory notes, and a touch of oak. The velvety tannins lead through to a persistent and aromatic finish.
The Single Block Barba Yannis is named in honor of Mr Yannis, from whom the single block of 3.71 hectares was purchased, in 1994. The estate vineyard is located in P.D.O. Amyndeon, in the region of Macedonia, and is situated at an altitude of 620 to 710 meters above sea level. The vines are 100% ungrafted, pre-phylloxera Gobelet (bush) vines, which are over 90 years old. The summers are hot, so to avoid extreme water deficit, a 'root zone drying irrigation' is used, to ensure the optimum conditions for the nourishment and maturation of the grapes. The vines are grown in sandy clay over limestone soils, which provide excellent drainage.
