âStalismaâ
Malagousia, Xinomavro, Thessaloniki, GreeceÂ
âThis is a wine for those who can waitâ, says (unbelievably charming) winemaker Dimitrios Kioutsoukis, though we think it is ~ singing ~ right now. He and his family manage 11 hectares of organically farmed vines in Greece, mostly regional varieties like assyrtiko, malagousia, roditis & xinomavro. Fermented separately, the (80%) intensely aromatic malagousia and (20%) salty-savoury xinomavro, used here as a blanc de noir (pressing the white juice from a red grape) combine, before three months resting on the yeasty lees plumping everything up. Heady honeysuckle, bergamot and jasmine, with wild yarrow, salted pine nuts, yuzu pith & a limey, green apple slaw. Enjoy after some time tucked away, with Greek cheeses like kasseri, kefalotyri & kopanisti.
