Popolka Kokkineli 2021 is a fresh, expressive take on 100% Xinomavro from Epirus, Greece. Light-bodied and bright, this red leans into the savory side of the grape, pairing juicy red fruit with herbal character, subtle tomato notes, and fine tannins.
The nose shows strawberry, gooseberry, sun-dried tomato, and fresh herbs. On the palate, bright acidity gives the wine energy, while red berries and savory tomato notes create a layered, slightly rustic character. Fine tannins add just enough structure without weighing it down, making for a clean, refreshing finish.
Made from organically farmed grapes, the wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with minimal intervention and is bottled unfiltered, preserving its natural, expressive character.
🍅 Tomato-braised lamb with oregano and garlic
🥙 Greek-style meatballs with lemon, herbs, and yogurt
🍄 Grilled mushrooms with olive oil, thyme, and garlic
🧀 Grilled feta with roasted tomatoes and fresh herbs
