Katogi & Strofilia Averoff Xinomavro 2008

We're starting to see a growing number of Greek wines in the Canadian market, which are often made from indigenous grape varieties and proving to be very user-friendly. The grape Xinomavro, which literally translated means 'acid black', produces this intriguing red wine, with red fruit, red pepper and tomato leaf aromas on a dry, but intensely fruity palate, with balanced acidity and fine, silky tannins. Lovely and unique flavours, this is a wine worth seeking out and, is indeed, great value. Pair with spiced grilled lamb. Tasted September 2013. Score - 90.
