{"product_id":"skyphos-naoussa-artisans-vignerons","title":"Skyphos Macedonia IGP 2017","description":"\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eSkyphos is the co-operative's single-vineyard or prestige cuvée: Xinomavro from the Naoussa PDO, the appellation most associated with this difficult, noble variety in northern Greece. The 2017 vintage is now eight years old — a significant amount of bottle age for Xinomavro, which famously resembles Nebbiolo in its demanding tannic structure and need for time. This is a wine to open with care: the dry, austere tannins of youth will have softened considerably, allowing the complexity to emerge. Dried cherry and tomato leaf on the nose — the Xinomavro signatures — with spice, leather and the earthy, floral complexity that develops with age. Decant generously. Good with lamb, roasted meats, game and aged hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eGrape variety: Xinomavro (100%), Naoussa PDO, North Greece; organic; established producer already in the winemakers list; mature vintage (2017)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eVinification: Manual harvest; indigenous yeasts; traditional extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eAging: In oak; mature vintage; decant before serving; fine drinking now to 2030+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eOrganoleptic description: Deep ruby-garnet; dried cherry, tomato leaf, spice, leather, floral complexity; structured, now softening, long complex finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eFood pairing: Lamb, roasted meats, game, aged hard cheeses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Grape Escape","offers":[{"title":"75 cl","offer_id":52886424944967,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/4327\/8663\/files\/grapeescape-xinomavro-skyphos-artisans-vignerons-de-naousa.webp?v=1772201099","url":"https:\/\/grape-escape.ch\/products\/skyphos-naoussa-artisans-vignerons","provider":"The Grape Escape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
