Origin

Produced in Greece, the AYEHOROS Xinomavro/Merlot blend comes from the vineyards of the Macedonian region, known for its ideal terroir for Xinomavro grapes.

Variety

  • Xinomavro: A native Greek grape variety, known for its complex tannins and aging potential.
  • Merlot: An international grape variety contributing softness and fruit-forward characteristics.

Production

The wine is crafted by carefully selecting ripe grapes from both varieties. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness. The blend is then aged in oak barrels to develop complexity and balance before bottling.

Tasting notes

AYEHOROS Xinomavro/Merlot offers a deep ruby color with aromas of red berries, plum, and subtle spicy notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with balanced acidity and smooth tannins, finishing with hints of oak and a lingering fruit character.

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats such as lamb or beef
  • Hearty stews and casseroles
  • Mature cheeses like aged Gouda or Manchego
  • Roasted vegetables and Mediterranean dishes
