Thymiopoulos Malagouzia / Assyrtiko 2023
The perfect marriage of the rich stone fruit and floral flavours of Malagouzia with the acidity and minerality of Assyrtiko, which adds freshness and complexity to the finish.
The grapes come from five to ten-year-old vines planted on limestone soils in Imathia, in Greek Macedonia. They were harvested by hand in late August and early September.
Fermentation was carried out in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and the wine was bottled unoaked.

The Thymiopoulos family have been growing grapes in the Naoussa region of Greek Macedonia for generations, but it was Apostolos’ father Sergios who began growing them commercially to sell to local wineries. Whilst his father made a concerted effort to focus on improving quality, it was Apostolos himself who seized the opportunity to begin making wines under the family name. Having studied oenology in Athens he returned home and in 2003 he commenced production, with his first vintage released in 2005. Over time Apostolos has increased the family vineyard holdings, whilst still maintaining the same low-intervention approach to viticulture of the previous generations.
