His rise and progress has been impressive if not borderline unbelievable. What makes this even more amazing is the variety and region were completely obscure to most of the world only 15 years ago. Xinomavro is arguably Greece’s contribution to the noble grape varieties of the world, capable of creating breathtaking complex wines, but as a thin skinned, highly tannic variety, it requires extremely careful handling, something at which Thymiopoulos seems particularly deft. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naoussa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Xinomavro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apostolos Thymiopoulos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal Intervention, Unfined \u0026amp; Unfiltered, Minimal Sulphites,  Sustainable Farming, Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Wine Store \u0026 Bottle Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46078755340437,"sku":"5100","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Thymiopoulos-Naoussa-Alta-Xinomavro-2023-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop_237f668d.jpg?v=1773392789","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/thymiopoulos-naoussa-alta-xinomavro-2023","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
