Goumenissa is a fool-proof choice for lovers of classic reds, who will appreciate its velvet style. This 70/30% mix of Xinomavro and Negoska grapes may feel a touch more balanced and refined than a monovarietal Xinomavro wine. It parades around in the glass with a clear medium ruby-red color that releases a perfumed and sweetly spiced aroma with just a whiff of the French oak barrels in which it has aged for 12 months. On the palate its fair structure and lively, elegant nature can be noted alongside sweet spices and chocolate. Perfect for pairing with red meat dishes. A well rounded 13% ABV with a long lingering finish, accompanies by rich and persistent tannins. Really reminding you that you are drinking something of structure and quality. Indeed, we bet this can 100% pass for “serious and expensive” with a beginner wine enthusiast!
