Aromas of strawberry, cherry and rose, in combination with fine vanilla notes from oak maturation.
PALATE
Although youthful, the wine’s aromatic power and tannic structure reveal strong character and great aging potential, thanks to an outstanding vintage. A typical expression of Ramnista that will need about 1 hour of decanting before we enjoy it in its first years. Rare aromatic complexity with intense tannin structure and robust acidity.
FOOD MATCHING
Rare aromatic complexity with intense tannin structure and robust acidity. An excellent pair for red meat and game.
The 2015 Ramnista is the winery’s classic Xinomavro, aged for 18 months in 30% new French oak. It comes in at 13% alcohol. When last seen, it was a little tight with sharp edges—to some extent, that’s the style. Let’s check in. This has fleshed out nicely, seeming rounder and softer in terms of texture—but there is still lots of power hiding underneath. It pops up to the foreground pretty promptly. Overall, this is a bit more approachable, but that doesn’t mean it’s ready. It really needs a couple of more years to become more expressive and better balanced. In other words, continue on as originally directed. Everything looks good.
