Domaine Karydas Naoussa 2015

100% Xinomavro. Established 20-plus years ago by Konstantinos Karydas and now run by his son, Petros, this small six acre estate is absolutely stunning. The philosophy is simple yet painstaking: grow nothing but the absolute best fruit nature can allow and then have a minimalist winemaking style. The vineyard is a sandy, clay hillside while the winery thoughtfully sits right in the middle. Fantastic spicy fruit with mid-weight texture and power with integrated but firm tannins. If you're a fan of Northern Italian Nebbiolo you should definitely try this at a much lesser price.
