Macedonia: Tsikrikonis Winery – Xinomavro Wild Ferment 2018

The Tsikrikoni family’s privately-owned vineyard is nestled under Mount Symbolos, at an altitude of up to 350 meters, and just 3 kilometers away from the Aegean Sea. It’s 100 acres in total, divided into 4 vineyards featuring Greek grapes like Rozaki Kavala, Assyrtiko, Malagouzia, Samos, and Malvazia. Its history can be traced back to the 1950s, when the first grapes were planted. Thanks to the humidity from the sea during the day, coupled by the mild winds from the mountains at night, the climate ends up being totally perfect.
