Magoutes Xinomavro "Siatista" Rouge, 2020

A delightful and complex medium bodied red

Aromas of red wildflowers, lilac, and poppies unfold in a delicately spiced, sweet-scented setting. The palate is youthful and refined, with vibrant acidity that lifts the red floral notes and introduces hints of pink citrus. The finish is beautifully long, distinctly mineral with a crisp, chalky austerity, and layered nuances that add a subtle herbal touch.

STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

From 1670, the wine-growing region of Siatista has been crafting stellar vintages. It wasn't until the start of the 20th century when Dimitrios Diamantis' grandfather planted the family's first vineyard that magenta magic truly began. Regrettably, by the 70s, production halted leaving most of the old vines untouched. Yet, in the 90s, Dimitrios returned to Magoutes, determined to revive the nearly forgotten grapes. With his business partner George Papageorgiou, their team replanted 18 ha on the slopes, with the Magoutes Vineyard taking pride atop rocky, limestone soils at 750-890m above sea-level. Organic farming techniques, coupled with the extreme climate, help produces vintages without interference or manipulation, ensuring every sip is pure and true.
