Tsiakkas Xynisteri Skin Contact

Wine from the Xynisteri grape from Cyprus is not an everyday occurrence even for the most adventurous wine lovers. Let alone one that the winemaker has soaked in the skins for a few days. In case you have forgotten this after purchasing, the maker subtly refers to this 'skin contact' on the label.

The result is dark yellow. Smells of apple, incense and figs. And tastes like dried apple. With fresh acidity, minerality and lots of tension. The shell contact gives these Xynistreri structure and power.
