Great wine! (362 views) | | | Tasted by winebunch on 8/30/2023 & rated 90 points: Fun and characterful savory rose, excellent compliment to bbq souvlaki with Jack and Holly at the beach hut! Would buy again at £15-20 (320 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 8/12/2023 & rated 90 points: A couple of years since we had this before ( Papies 90s) and even more interesting to try this side by side with the yardstick of rose wines the Whispering Angel. This is denser , richer, more fruity but ( as expected though not confectionary) and as we always joke this is more of a Greek Beaujolais rather than rose. Very good as always . 90 (595 views) | | | Tasted by poste244 on 5/3/2023 & rated 89 points: Encore en grande forme. La bouteille en verre noir doit aider à un vieillissement en beauté. Le vin reste foncé pour un rosé avec des reflets saumonés. De belles notes de fruits rouges des champs et d'écorce de mandarine en bouche sur une acidité plutôt basse. Encore une fois, tout à fait dans mes goûts! (562 views) | | | Tasted by SuperSomm on 7/18/2022: Deep orange colour. Medium and developing nose with strawberry, peach, pomegranate, dried strawberries, orange, orange peel, thyme and violet. Medium (+) taste of strawberry, peach, orange, orange peel, thyme and rhubarb. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Light tannins. Medium body. A very good Xinomavro based Rosé close to a light red wine. Needed an hour to open. Drink now. Goes well with beef, lamb, pork or poultry. (287 views) | | | Tasted by UlfH on 7/16/2022 & rated 90 points: Best Rosé ever (711 views) | | | Tasted by vetlehs on 5/8/2022 & rated 88 points: Middels dyp oransje. Rips, stikkelsbær og roser på nese. Saftig, med fint preg av syrefriskhet. Rips, markjordbær og stikkelsbær. (870 views) | | | Tasted by TintoDelPais on 5/1/2022 & rated 88 points: Fruity red berries and rosehip. Light and light. Lovely. (810 views) | | | Tasted by Robjes on 3/27/2022 & rated 89 points: Excellent value for money rose. Nose of orange, maybe a hint of strawberry and ripe plum. Some bitterness typical for Mediterranean wines. (830 views) | | | Tasted by Louis Ruest on 12/5/2021 & rated 83 points: Fraise,cerise et thym. Excellent en apero... (892 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 11/7/2021 & rated 90 points: WOW...une superbe recommandation de la semaine
dernière par une des conseillières de la succ de Granby.
Bu avec mon superbe Poulet à la portugaise, un accord magique,
plus convainquant que ce que j'avais dégusté en succ!
Beaucoup de substance et de complexité ici.
C`est vif et bien frais, sur des notes de fruits rouges, de la pomme grenade
et des fraises avec un peu de silex et d`herbes.
Une belle acidité rafraîchissante et une finale
bien longue et suave qui nous laisse sur une minéralité profonde.
EXCELLENT, définitivement un cas de caisse.
De plus, ce rosé est dans une bouteille de verre teintée pour
le protéger et améliorer sa conservation...c`est tellement bon
qu`il n`aurait pas besoin de ça dans mon cas!
Info additionnelles:
Le Domaine Thymiopoulos se trouve au sud de Naoussa,
dont le vignoble se situe dans le Nord de la Grèce à
une altitude de 100 à 400 mètres.
Les vignes sont essentiellement plantées sur les coteaux.
Le seul cépage autochtone planté dans la région de Naoussa
est le Xinomavro qui signifie xino=acide et mavro=noir.
On retrouve dans le vignoble aujourd’hui de nombreux
autres cépages européens comme le Merlot, la Syrah
et le Cabernet Sauvignon mais ils produisent souvent des vins standardisés.
Avec le Xinomavro seul le terroir parle en fonction de la géologie.
Celui qui est en charge de ce beau domaine,
Apostolos Thymiopoulos est talentueux et possède parmi
les plus belles vignes de Naoussa. La famille Thymiopolos
fait du vin depuis des générations, mais les raisins étaient
vendus à la cave coopérative et à la maison Boutari.
Le jeune Apostolos, une fois son diplôme d’œnologie en main,
est revenu au domaine pour brasser un peu les choses !
En travaillant avec sa famille, Apostolos a commencé par
implanter les principes biodynamiques. Puis tranquillement,
il a dirigé le domaine vers une approche plus naturelle à la cave.
Les plus vieilles vignes du Domaine ont 130 ans et les nouvelles vignes sont plantées à une densité
de 7000 à 12000 pieds par hectare pour accentuer la concurrence racinaire.
La fraîcheur des montagnes surplombantes permet d’allonger la durée de maturation.
Cépages: 100 % xinomavro
Âges des vignes: 10 ans en moyenne
Vinification: égrappage; 12 heures de macération en cuves inox;

Élevage: 5 mois en cuves inox; 4 mois en fûts de 500l de deuxième passage
Viticulture: sans ajout de produits de synthèse (1361 views) | | | Tasted by jorivesud on 11/5/2021 & rated 89 points: Rose pêche cuivré.
Nez sur les bonbon anglais, un peu de maquis, salin.
En bouche, petits fruits rouges, écorce d’orange, acidité moyenne, légère astringence ne mi-bouche, longueur moyenne+, pas mal de matières dans le domaine des rosés, j’aime bien. (772 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 9/24/2021 & rated 90 points: By the glass as part of the wine pairing at Ikoyi, London. Fresh bottle.
This should have its own designation and calling it a rose is a mistake. Expertly made by one of Greece’s best wine makers this is more of a Beaujolais made with xinomavro. Light and playful, juicy and mild but also serious. Very pretty and special and in a category of its own. 90 (839 views) | | | Tasted by Krihop on 8/13/2021 & rated 89 points: God rose, bra syre. Jordbær, bringebær (593 views) | | | Tasted by SuperSomm on 7/28/2021: Deep salmon pink colour. Medium nose with peach, strawberry, , pomegranate, dried strawberry, orange peel, thyme, rose petal and savory. Pronounced taste of strawberry, peach, cooked strawberries, orange, orange peel, thyme, cinnamon, sun-dried tomatoes and rhubarb. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium (+) body. A very good Xinomavro Rosé that feels like a light red wine that goes well with grilled meat. Needed an hour to open. Goes well with beef, pork or poultry. (172 views) | | | Tasted by MieFugl on 7/26/2021: Really gorgeous dark salmon pink colour! Needs a bit of aeration to show fruit properly. Not the most easy going of rosés, leaning more towards the bold spectrum. High acidity, aromas of strawberry, red currant and pomegranate. Quite nice with cheese, expect it would be a great food wine. (551 views) | | | Tasted by SuperSomm on 7/24/2021: Deep orange colour. Medium nose with strawberry, peach, pomegranate, dried strawberries, orange, orange peel, thyme, rose petal and violet. Medium (+) taste of strawberry, peach, cooked strawberries, orange, orange peel, thyme, rhubarb and cinnamon. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium (+) body. A very good Xinomavro Rosé that is close to a light red wine that goes excellent with Mediterranean food. Needed an hour to open. Drink now. Goes well with beef, lamb, pork or poultry. (173 views) | | | Tasted by Danneskjöld on 7/12/2021 & rated 87 points: Ren frukt. Jordbær.
Bløt og lett sødmefull frukt i munnen. Veldig tørr utgang med god lengde. (638 views) | | | Tasted by Dugis on 7/4/2021 & rated 90 points: Deep fruity odors. Raspberry. A very good Rosé from an excellent producer (566 views) | | | Tasted by ricard on 7/2/2021 & rated 91 points: This is as exciting, perfumed and polished as I expected. Truly the essence of Xinomavro and an ideal wine for the summer. Put your nostrils in deep and you'll get that heady, truffly rosewater Xin scent that is so alluring - like a subtler version of Nebbiolo or a Pinot at its most violet-y. But it's also a rosé at heart - vivid, nervy, intensely refreshing, lip-smackingly acidic. The colour is so deep salmon pink it's almost orange (but it is NOT an orange wine! ugh!) It has body, depth, power, on the one hand, and energy, lightness and oodles of romance and heady flowery fragrance on the other. Super! (776 views) | | | Tasted by swfc on 6/17/2021 & rated 91 points: Absolute revelation. Agree with another note here - gastronomic and reminds me of Pataille's Fleur de Pinot. Super ripe red fruit, strawberry jam, touch blood orange marmalade. Very cleanly knitted together, lovely line of acidity running through it. This would be very adaptable with food, but would also disappear pretty quick on its own... Yum! (524 views) | | | Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 6/6/2021 & rated 90 points: Greece Wine Zoom tasting. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, crimson redish pink colour. Thin legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of strawberry, red cherries, light earth. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet strawberry, ripe red cherries, blood orange, background of earth and stony minerality. Good long finish.
Good quality. Good linear focused palate. Serious Rose without layers of complexity but has a good depth of fruit substance. Could age some. (744 views) | | | Tasted by SuperSomm on 5/22/2021: Deep orange colour. Medium nose with strawberries, peach, dried strawberries, orange peel, thyme, roses and tar. Pronounced taste of strawberries, peach, cooked strawberries, orange, orange peel and thyme. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium (+) body. A very good Xinomavro Rosé that feels like a light red wine that goes perfect with grilled meat. Needed an hour to open. Drink now. Goes well with beef, pork or poultry. (192 views) | | | Tasted by Brentw1 on 12/4/2020 & rated 94 points: This is a revelation. I've been introduced to Thymioloupos wines by The Wine Society community and absolutely love having discovered the Xinomavro grape. Described as the 'Bastard off-spring of pinot noir and cinsault' it seems to have the ability to age and develop like a decent Burgundy (but without the price tag). The Rose is a complex proper wine and if you can find a bottle please try it. It reminds me of Sylvain Pataille's age-worthy Rose from Marsannay. You will not be disappointed!
