On the occasion of the International Xinomavro Day on November 1st, the association "Winemakers of Northern Greece" invites wine lovers to two unique events in Athens and Thessaloniki, dedicated to the exploration of the different styles of this multidimensional variety.
Xinomavro can give wines that are highly structured, with a style and character that stands out, as well as the possibility of long aging.
It also offers a full range of wine types, red, rosé and white (blanc de noir), dry, semi-dry, fresh and aged, semi-sparkling, sparkling and sweet vins de liqueur, as well as wine spirits.
The variety can be found in single-varietal wines and blends, since it combines harmoniously with both indigenous and international varieties.
