Markovitis Winery, Xinomavro Markovitis Naoussa 1997 Brut Nature Just a cracking Eden Valley

Just a cracking Eden Valley Riesling

On the palate it has berry fruit character and the sweetness is balanced by excellent acidity

Created by Parisian chemist / wine merchant Joseph Dubonnet as a means to make quinine more palatable for the soldiers battling malaria in North Africa

The yields are low

Markovitis Winery, Xinomavro Markovitis Naoussa 1997 Brut Nature Just a cracking Eden ValleyOne of the best and most historic examples of Xinomavro produced in Naoussa. Ripe red fruit, leather, red pepper and tobacco the nose is impressive right from the start. Moderate body with robust but well integrated tannins combined with lovely linear acidity. Spicy fruit dominates the mid palate and remain there in the long peppery aftertaste. A modern take on Xinomavro.
