IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Sun-dried tomato, black olive and herb scents give this Xinomavro a typical varietal start. Chewy tannins and a spin of smoke and olive mean it's best suited for grilled meats, robust cheeses and smoky eggplant tapenade. A food wine with more years to age.

Grande Reserve Naoussa Boutari begins with a really enticing, delightful aroma of ripe blackberry, leather, cinnamon, vanilla and spice. Just a wonderful bouquet. The wine tastes smooth and succulent with mild but firm tannins and has great balance between fruit and oak. It gets even better as it has time to breathe. The delicious juicy fruit turns tart on the medium-long, dry finish and leaves you with some lingering olive notes.
