2022 Red Goumenissa, Mikro Ktima Titos

2022 Red Goumenissa, Mikro Ktima Titos

Macedonia, Greece

A wonderfully fragrant northern Greek red, alive with wild strawberry, raspberry and morello cherry. Rosemary, jasmine and allspice bring an aromatic, almost woodland quality, while a subtle savoury undertone gives the fruit extra depth and personality.

Medium-bodied and beautifully composed, the palate combines lively acidity with silky tannins and juicy red fruit. Xinomavro provides freshness and structure, while Negoska softens the edges and adds generosity. The finish is long, herbal and gently spicy. This is a compelling buy for anyone who values perfume, freshness and regional character over sheer weight.

For when the table is full, the food is generous, and something less ordinary is called for.

Pairs with Slow-roasted lamb, beef stifado, pork souvlaki, mushroom ragù, tomato-braised vegetables or mature hard cheeses.

Mikro Ktima Titos sits among old oak trees beside the River Sirios, at the foot of Mount Paiko in Central Macedonia. First planted by Titos Eftychidis in 1972, the estate is now guided by acclaimed Greek winemakers Vangelis Gerovassiliou and Vassilis Tsaktsarlis. Their focus is firmly on Goumenissa’s indigenous grapes and the graceful, savoury reds they produce.

Mikro Ktima Titos, meaning “the small estate of Titos”, lies in a quiet oak forest beside the River Sirios, close to Goumenissa in northern Greece. The story began in 1972, when Titos Eftychidis planted four hectares with Xinomavro, Negoska and several other varieties at the foot of Mount Paiko.

Following Titos’s death, his wife Angeliki entrusted the vineyard to his close friend Vangelis Gerovassiliou. In 2018, Gerovassiliou and fellow winemaker Vassilis Tsaktsarlis, the founders of Ktima Biblia Chora, formally acquired the property and began an ambitious revival. The original buildings were sensitively renovated, with a modern winery and dedicated maturation cellar completed in 2022.

Today, the estate cultivates 27 hectares across the Goumenissa PDO zone, including vineyards near the winery and parcels in Gerakonas, Filiria and Pentafolos. The vines grow between 150 and 280 metres on well-drained clay soils rich in granite and limestone. Farming follows organic agricultural standards, with much of the vineyard work carried out by hand.

Goumenissa is one of Greece’s smallest PDO regions, and Mikro Ktima Titos has become an important guardian of its identity. The wines combine the structure and aromatic complexity of Xinomavro with the softer fruit and supple texture of Negoska, offering authenticity, polish and a clear sense of place.

The blend is 80% Xinomavro and 20% Negoska, the traditional partnership required for PDO Goumenissa. The vineyards sit on the gentle slopes of Mount Paiko at elevations between 150 and 280 metres, with predominantly clay soils containing granite and limestone. The continental climate is moderated by the River Sirios and cool mountain breezes.

Both varieties are harvested by hand towards the end of September, then co-macerated and co-fermented. Skin contact continues until the completion of alcoholic fermentation, with gentle stirring to build texture without extracting excessive tannin. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for one year, mainly in large French oak barrels.

The wine has 13.5% alcohol and is suitable for vegans.
