There are 5 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS WINE
This jewel of a 2.5-hectare domaine produces one wine—the benchmark 100% Xinomavro. All work (aside form harvest help) is done by father and son in the rigorous old-fashioned manner. Aged for two years in (mostly used) French oak of varying formats—but small enough to fit in their tiny cellar!
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
They are a father and son team, Konstantinos & Petros. They pride ourselves for producing single vineyard Xinomavro since 1994. Over 20 years ago Konstantinos Karydas established Domaine Karydas in Ano Gastra, one of the most well-known grape-growing regions of Naoussa. His immaculately kept two-and-a-half hectares (6 acres) of Xinomavro vines planted on the hill of Gastra in sandy, clay and limestone soils, noted for their good drainage. In 1992, he built his winery in the middle of the vineyard and, shortly thereafter, his son Petros joined him to produce his first vintage under his own label. Their mission? To produce a traditional single-vineyard Xinomavro with very little intervention.
