Goumenissa is an appellation wine created on the Northern Greek blue grapes Xinomavro and Negoska from Tatsis' biodynamic vineyards in Goumenissa of Macedonia.
After hand picking, the most is wild fermented on steel tanks and then aged in old french oak casks for more than 12 months. It is then bottled without the use of filtration and released no less than a year later.
The colour in the glass is a beautiful dark red. In the nose, you will find ripe red fruits, especially ripe late-summer plums. On the palate, the wine has nice tannins and impressively balanced acidity. The wine is characterized by a long-lasting aftertaste with notes of tobacco.
It is a complex red wine, with dry, charming acidity and elegant tannins and works with the dishes we normally would enjoy the Piedmontese reds with.
The wines keep youthful and fresh for decades.
