- Rapsani VQPRD This blend of 34 per cent Xinomavro, 33 per cent Krassato and 33 per cent Stavroto had one year in oak and two in bottle before release. 13.5%. The colour is still surprisingly youthful. Rich black spicy fruit, even a little floral, with lovely combination of density and freshness. High acidity and dryish tannins, typical of the sometimes Nebbiolo-like qualities of Xinomavro, grown here in probably its warmest spot in Greece. Spicy oak especially on the finish.

- Rapsani VQPRD 34 per cent Xinomavro, 33 per cent Krassato, 33 per cent Stavroto. Deep garnet. Fresh, herbal red fruits beautifully balance with fresh acidity and very fine tannins. Still seems very young, with the potential to age well.
