Thymiopoulos ‘White’ Xinomavro-Malagousia 2021, Greece

Apostolos Thymiopoulos is widely considered to be one of Greece’s most dynamic winemakers. His innovative approach and mastery of the Xinomavro grape variety have helped bring Greek wines to worldwide attention. And now, he’s been recognised as Decanter’s Rising Star of 2022. This delicious blend marries hand-picked Xinomavro and Malagousia to create a wine that really raises the bar for Greek whites. Both varieties are fermented separately, with the Xinomavro juice kept separate from the skins to avoid any red colour. It’s fresh and floral with aromas of white flowers, citrus and peach. Its wonderfully crisp acidity makes it an ideal match for fish dishes.
