Artisans Vignerons de Naoussa

Artisans Vignerons de Naoussa is a union of growers that share the same passion in cultivating the variety of Xinomavro, in the scattered vineyards throughout the hills of Naoussa region, in the North of Greece in the historical area of Imathia. Covered with forests and creeks, in the shadow of mt. Vermio, the Xinomavro grape thrives inside its birthplace. This partnership was created in order to promote the philosophy of sustainable viticulture and the results of its practices that are reflected into the the wines produced.

Northern Greece

Northern Greece, known for its varied landscapes and cooler climate, excels in distinctive wines. The diverse terroirs, including mountains and plains, create ideal conditions for viticulture. Macedonia is particularly noted for Xinomavro, a red grape producing deep, complex wines with ageing potential, especially from Naoussa and Amynteo. The area also shines with aromatic whites from Assyrtiko and Malagousia, featuring fresh, citrusy profiles. Thrace adds to the region's reputation with robust reds and crisp whites. Northern Greece offers a rich and varied wine experience, combining traditional techniques with unique terroirs for exceptional quality and character.
