You do not see new labels from Dalamara Winery very often. Nothing gets released if Kostis is not fully satisfied. So when he says that now he has a wine called Naoussa and we know how much he loves Naoussa, we‘d better stop doing what we are doing and listen to him.
And when he says Naoussa, he means it. Typical of the variety, it expresses perfectly its place of origin. Normally, a Naoussa 2022 would be good to drink after 2026. Fortunately, this belongs to the past thanks to the efforts and experimentation of the new generation of wine producers of the area. Kostis and the "gang" of young and talented Naoussa winemakers change the classical austere style of the wines of the area, enabling them to be enjoyed pleasantly even when young. This would have seemed inconceivable in the past, given the acidity and intensely tannic character of the variety.
Kostis Dalamaras, one of the most charismatic Greek oenologists and winemakers, returned from his studies in Burgundy and having gained experience in Alsace, Roussillon, and Catalonia, he paired tradition with the most modern international winemaking techniques, giving a new concept to the historic winery at the entrance of the city of Naoussa.
