Thymiopoulos is a family-owned estate in Naoussa, Northern Greece, led by Apostolos Thymiopoulos. Though the family has long grown grapes in the village of Trilofos, Apostolos launched his own label in 2005 after studying oenology, with a goal to interpret the terroir of Vermio’s foothills through the ancient grape Xinomavro. The vineyards—about 34-38 hectares—are farmed organically and with biodynamic practices, with a deep commitment to letting each parcel and each vintage show its own character. Winemaking is minimal intervention: careful wild yeast ferments, judicious oak ageing, and restraint in cellar treatments so that acidity, structure and mineral detail remain front and centre. Thymiopoulos’ wines are celebrated for their elegance, texture, clarity and the balance of fruit and tannin that allows both early pleasure and long-term ageing.
Tasting Notes
If there is a grape variety that rivals Nebbiolo in both style and character it has to be Xinomavro. King of red varieties in Greece this is not a shy wine. Bold, intense and defiant. It's floral nose lures you in and it's succulent fruit seduces you. Then there's it's tannin profile which is the cherry on top. One of my all-time favourite Greek wines. - Chris L
