Ashwin’s Reflection:
Kostis, the winemaker, is someone who I admire and whose wines I absolutely adore. I’ve been drinking his wines for nearly a decade and have many of his bottlings in my personal cellar, so I’m thrilled to finally be able to bring one of his wines to you! Xinomavro is an absolute stand-out Greek variety that once you start to explore, you begin to realize how much finesse, versatility, and depth it has. I hope you enjoy this wine as much as I do!
