Dinner Xara Lodge on the 28th of March 2023

Dear Friends,

 

The March event was in the hands of Daniel and Garreth who chose Greece as their focus and Daniel worked hard with the Xara Kitchen to obtain a food match to his desired standard and this was a successful pairing as there were many 9/10 and even one 10/10 for the food so here again Xara did not let us down.

 

As for the wines, the ones most liked were the Xinomavro based ones – wines C & D.  Xinomavro is considered to be the noblest and one of the most important grape varieties of Greece established there for hundreds of years.  It tends to produce medium to full body wines with high tannins and acidity and its primary flavours are those of raspberry, plums, anise, allspice and tobacco.

 

My favourite was the Kayafas followed by the Diaporos and I hope to have both resting in my cellar soon for me to age a year or two longer before enjoying.
