Thymiopoulos, Atma White, Naoussa, Macedonia, Greece, 2019

Original, summery blend of a direct press of Xinomavro (that’s to say, a blanc de noir) with about one-third of the white Malagousia. The wines are made separately and blended later. Xinomavro gives the aromatic, exotic Malagousia the crunchiness it lacks. Altogether very appealing. There’s a mouthwatering acidity, with a savoury, mineral texture to add interest.
