Wine Road of Macedinia Wine Fair

Last week I spent a very pleasant evening at the Wine fair showcasing wines from Northern Greece.
My favourite wine was probably "Ramnista" from the Kir Yianni winery. It is made from one of Greece's most famous red varieties Xynomavro, translated it means sharp or tart black.
This wine is elegant , the strong tanins having been tamed and guess what its also pretty good value for money. This red has great character.
I also liked the "Malagousia " made by Gerovassiliou and of course the "Ovilos" from Biblia Chora , a great blend of Semillon with Assyrtiko.

This weekend coming is the annual Athens Wine Fair, where all the new vintages are out to taste so I will report on that.
