🇬🇷 A bold, complex red from the heart of Northern Greece, where tradition meets innovation.

🎨 In the Glass:
Deep garnet-red with violet reflections, indicating both richness and youth.

👃 On the Nose:
Intensely aromatic, with layers of ripe black cherries, sun-dried tomatoes, plum, and hints of licorice, clove, and cedar wood. Over time, earthy tones and olive tapenade emerge, showcasing the grape’s hallmark savory complexity.

👅 On the Palate:
Powerful yet graceful. Concentrated red and black fruit give way to firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. A polished structure reflects meticulous vineyard work and barrel ageing — this is Xinomavro with a modern, elegant twist.

🌿 Vineyard Notes:
Sourced from a single vineyard in Yianakohori, at the foothills of Mount Vermio. The high elevation and cool climate bring freshness and balance to this age-worthy wine.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with slow-cooked lamb, braised beef, game meats, or roasted vegetables with Mediterranean herbs. Also excellent with mature cheeses and dishes featuring tomato-based sauces.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
This is Greece’s answer to Barolo — structured, age-worthy, and packed with character. Diaporos is a red for collectors and connoisseurs, offering both power and finesse from a grape that’s gaining international acclaim.
