Discover the Elegance of Xinomavro Apostolos Thymiopoulos 2021
If you’re looking to buy premium Xinomavro red wine from Greece, the Apostolos Thymiopoulos Xinomavro 2021 is a benchmark expression of the grape and region. Grown in the rugged terroir of Naoussa, Macedonia, this vintage perfectly captures the varietal's complexity and ageing potential.
Despite its elegant, pale ruby hue, this wine offers an intense concentration of flavour. The nose reveals a vibrant bouquet of dark cherries, ripe strawberries, tobacco leaf, and black olives, underscored by savoury Mediterranean herbs and subtle spice. On the palate, layers of red and black fruits unfold alongside bracing acidity and a bold, structured tannin profile. The result is a medium-bodied red wine with exceptional balance, depth, and a long, persistent finish.

Winery | The Thymiopoulos family have been growing grapes in the Naoussa region of Greek Macedonia for generations, but it was Apostolos’s father Sergios who began growing them commercially to sell to local wineries. Whilst his father made a concerted effort to improve quality, it was Apostolos himself who seized the opportunity to begin making wines under the family name. Having studied oenology in Athens, he returned home, and in 2003, he commenced production, with his first vintage released in 2005. Over time, Apostolos has increased the family vineyard holdings, whilst still maintaining the same low-intervention approach to viticulture of the previous generations. |
