STORY BEHIND THE WINE

“Naoussea” – dry red wine, which is produced by the winemaker Nikos Fundis from Xinomavro, harvested from selected vineyards in the Ramnista area, in the heart of the Naoussa appellation. It grows exclusively Xinomavro, a refined variety of Central Macedonia. The harvest for making wine is harvested in late September-early October, depending on climatic conditions and degree of maturity. The fruit does not separate from the ridges. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel vats. Then the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and at least two years in the bottle. Maturing in oak barrels, the rich tannins are rounded off and a light woody flavor arises on the palate, which complements the natural bouquet of Xinomavro.
