Tasting notes
Deep ruby in the glass with violet hues, this wine opens with enticing aromas of dark cherry, wild blackberry, and dried herbs, with subtle earthy undertones and a hint of cracked black pepper. On the palate, it delivers concentrated fruit flavors layered with Mediterranean scrub, leather, and a touch of graphite. The tannins are firm yet polished, balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, spice-driven finish.

About this wine
Dalamara's Paliokalias is a varietal Xinomavro, the grape at the heart of Greece's most serious red wines. Pale in colour but deceptively powerful, Xinomavro carries firm tannin and bright acidity, giving it a structural kinship with Nebbiolo or Barolo more than anything typically associated with the Mediterranean.
Expect savoury, high-toned aromatics: dried tomato, black olive, wild herb, sour cherry, with tannins built for the table rather than the sofa. Serve at 16-18°C alongside venison, red meat, hard or aged cheeses, and pasta dishes with real depth of sauce.
