Current Stock:

The Thymiopoulos vineyards are situated on Trilofos, the southern tip of the appellation of Naoussa, in the northern part of Greece; the Thymiopoulos family has been growing vines here for several generations but Stergios Thymiopoulos was the first one to get involved commercially by selling grapes to local wineries and then, once his son Apostolos graduated from oenology school, began making wine in 2003. Xinomavro is the only grape planted, and this bottling is made from the estate's younger vines; it captures the essential character of the varietal in that it shows some of the fresh red-fruit character of Pinot Noir, the tannic structure of Nebbiolo, and the seductive fragrance of both.

The Producer

OUR STORY

Thymiopoulos family has been in agriculture and grape-growing in the village of Trilofos for generations. Apostolos Thymiopoulos was the first to vinify the family vineyards while studying oenology.

In 2005, he produced his first wine named “Earth and sky”. He truly believes in sustainable viticulture and minimum intervention during the whole winemaking process.

Apostolos applies this philosophy to produce ten different expressions of xinomavro, the renowned variety of Northern Greece, trying to reveal every aspect of its potential.

Thymiopoulos winery is located in Trilofos, a village on the foothills of Vermio mountain. A place in perfect harmony with nature, offering wines that reflect their origin.
