List of grape varieties

	Chief Greek Red Grape Varieties
		Xynomavro is one of the two most highly regarded of the Greek red cultivars (Agiorgitiko being the other).
		The name Xynomavro is the conjunction of the Greek words for acid and fl, a fact that hints at some characteristics of the variety, but at the exclusion of most of the charismatic manifestations of what is a decidely multifarious personality.
		He justifies the blending of Xynomavro with Merlot in some wines on the basis of the resulting high quality of the product as well as the fact that the Naousa name, though still important, has yielded some sovereignty, in the eyes of consumers, to the nature of the wines themselves.

	Xynomavro :: Winegeeks
		Xynomavro (Xinomavro) is known for producing a wide variety of wines that range from big and tannic reds to pleasant rosés and sometimes even as the base for sparkling wines (blanc de noirs).
		Xynomavro ripens very late, while retaining high levels of tannins, acidity and potential alcohol.
		Perhaps the best examples of Xynomavro are the wines of Nauossa and Goumenissa (where it is blended with the softer Negoska).
