Aiora Mavrotragano Xinomavro Syrah

A symphony of depth and dynamism, this compelling blend unites three of Greece’s most expressive red grapes in a performance of remarkable harmony. Mavrotragano brings its dark, volcanic broodiness; Xinomavro contributes a noble austerity and sinewy elegance; and Syrah lends plush spice and a silken touch. In the glass, it broods with a deep ruby hue, edged in violet. The nose unfurls slowly with aromas of black cherry, sundried tomato, cracked pepper, violets, and a distant flicker of smoke. There’s an herbal lift—wild thyme and dried rose—that beckons you closer. On the palate, the wine strikes a fine balance between tension and generosity. Tannins are precise, grippy yet refined, encasing a core of dark berry fruit, pomegranate molasses, and hints of black olive and clove. Beneath it all lies a persistent seam of volcanic minerality. A natural match for charcoal-grilled meats, roasted aubergine, or contemplative evenings under star-pricked skies.
