Gold Medal – Mundus Vini 2025
A deliciously crisp red from the foothills of Mount Vermio in Macedonia. This label is described as a "cuvee villages" because it is sourced from Xinomavro vines in the Naoussa area from which the wine gets its name. With delicate red fruits framed by fine tannins and fresh acidity, the Naoussa is a great drop for the lover of unique and lighter reds.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Garnet red, typical color to Xinomavro. Vibrant red and black fruit on the nose, with aromas of strawberry, cherry, and plums. A crisp and fruit-forward mouth with delicate notes of sweet spices and tobacco. Full body with good acidity and smooth tannins adding structure and leading to a pleasant finish.
The viticultural zone of Naoussa, lies on the foothills of mountain Vermio in Macedonia, covers an area of 500 ha at an altitude of 80- 350m. The climate is Mediterranean with continental influences with mild winters and relatively hot summers. The annual rainfall is up to 650 mm. For the label of Naoussa, Kir-Yianni, were selected young vines from the Estate and from the broader zone of the area which show great aromatic character and are planted at lower pH soils."
