Oenops Limniona 2022

I spend my life looking for smoky, wild Pinot Noir equivalents from around the world at more drinkable price points. Limniona is the most recent winner! Silky smooth, fruity and fresh with a delicious spice and energy. Notes of cherry and cranberry, layered with acacia and pink blossom, this is velvety and inviting. As thought provoking as it is gluggable.

Oenops was founded in 2015 by talented winemaker Nikos Karatzas, who operating as a négociant, produces a stunning range of distinctive wines from his newly established state-of-the-art winery. He sources indigenous and rare grape varieties grown on exceptional terroir focussing on cool-climate sites and old-vine plots, from carefully selected vineyards in Drama and Macedonia, which have been cultivated by ambitious winegrowers using an organic philosophy. Niko adopts a minimal intervention approach, and vinifies plot by plot using stainless steel, concrete, oak barrels and amphora. His aim is to source great fruit and craft wines that reflect the nuances of the native varieties and the identity from the terroir and as a result, he produces a collection of authentic, elegant and delicious wines.
