The Xinomavraw overturns all compromises by reaching the peak of complexity and finesse with this “no make up” wine. 
Part of Decanter’s Greek Xinomavro expert’s choice.
A light ruby colour, with a seductive nose of black cherries, plums, blackberries, cooked raspberries and herbal notes. The juicy palate reveals a velvet tannic structure followed by high acidity. Purity in a bottle!
{raw} : natural, pure. It really takes a very talented winemaker to work in a non-interventionist way. Oenops’ “Raw” wines create not only great wordplay, but also delicious intrigue in a bottle.
