Kamara ‘Pure Nimbus’

Xinomavro or black sour is a big grape with characteristics of the Nebbiolo variety. Dimitrios, after studying at the University of California Davis could see the potential of softening this powerful grape with Syrah and Merlot. Both Syrah and Merlot are vinified together, with Xinomavro being fermented by itself. Blended after ferment and aged in oak barrels for 12 months, leaving us with a big intense ruby wine, with flavours of blackberries, plum, cracked black pepper and a hint of spearmint.

Father and Daughter Team

What happens when an entire family is passionate about nature? They abandon city life and move to the countryside. This is the story of the Kioutsoukis family (Dimitrios, Eleftheria and their children). Dimitrios Kioutsoukis with his family assistance and inspiration planted 11 hectares of vines (mainly Greek grape varieties: Assyrtiko, Malagousia, Roditis, Xinomavro) in northern Greece near Thessaloniki, an area well known from ancient times for its wines.

Dimitrios, a chemical engineer with a degree from the University of California Davis in winemaking and his daughter Stavroula (agronomist-oenologist) carry on the family tradition. They are passionate about permaculture principles using more organic methods in viticulture and winemaking. Their main goal is to give birth to wines that are versatile,unique, and that express both their philosophy and the terroir.

Seeking the real taste of life they created Kamara pure, low intervention natural wines. All Kamara pure wines are naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts, have no oenological substances added and are bottled without filtration and no added sulfites.
