Tasting note

One of the best and most historic examples of Xinomavro produced in Naoussa. Ripe red fruit, sweet spices and Mediterranean herbs on the nose, a long spicy finish and balanced acidity.

Producer

Markovitis

Markos, the third-generation winemaker at Markovitis Winery (formerly Chateau Pegasus), carries on his family's legacy as the first organic producer in Greece. Based in Naoussa, near Thessaloniki, the region is known for Nebbiolo-style, age-worthy wines. In 1970, Markos’ grandfather planted 24 hectares of Xinomavro on the gentle slopes of Vermio mountain, surrounded by oak forests. Xinomavro, often austere in youth with firm tannins and high acidity, mellows beautifully with age, developing fragrant, complex earthy notes akin to Pinot Noir. Markos’ Xinomavro is the estate’s sole wine, made from 100% de-stemmed fruit and aged in old barrels.

Region

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.
