Old Roots Xinomavro

The vines stand at an altitude of 350 to 400 metres on sloping clay and sandy-clay soils. The semi-continental climate brings cold winters, warm summers, 400 to 600 millimetres of rainfall and dry northerly winds; artificial irrigation is not possible. After destemming, the wine ferments traditionally with native yeasts and without oenological additives. It matures for over twelve months in 500-litre American oak casks and is bottled without stabilisation or filtration. The style is powerful, acid-driven and rich in tannins, with mineral, spicy, vegetal and mature notes. ([ktimatatsis.gr](https://ktimatatsis.gr/el/product/old-roots-xinomavro-2013/))
