Ktima Foundi, Xinomavro Naoussea 2018 Santa Barbara and a hint of thymeTraditional Naoussa xinomavro from the Ramnista sub region, an area famed for wines with high acidity and plenty of structure. Showing wonderful density of cherry and redcurrant fruit alongside mouthcoating, fine grained tannins and oriental spices. Approachable now but will age brilliantly.
