NAOUSSA GRANDE RESERVE 2011- BOUTARIS

In the family of top Greek wines, Naoussa Grande Reserve Boutari is a wine that will particularly pique the interest of discerning enthusiasts and collectors everywhere, who respect their wine spirit!

From the historic cellars of Naoussa, landed in our hands (we also advise you in yours too...) to prove the flawless collaboration between the art of winemaking and time. A fine red wine, with the reputation of Boutaris winery, which has matured gracefully for 12 years already, but with plenty more to come, condenses the rich flavors and heritage of the Xinomavro grape and is a true jewel of Greek viticulture.

The Naoussa Grande Reserve 2011, from the Boutari winery, comes from very specific plots that are vinified separately. The wine after fermentation remains for 24 months in French oak barrels and after bottling it rests for another long time in the bottle, so that it acquires tremendous depth and complexity, but with the purity of the fruit unquenchable.

The number of bottles is of course very limited.

In the glass, it is deep ruby with grenache highlights. The complex and intensely aromatic character, with ripe cherries, raspberries, blueberries, and berry jam, is complemented by notes of sun-dried tomatoes, chocolate, cinnamon, and cloves.

In the mouth, it is robust with bold tannins and high acidity in high harmony. Blackberry, black cherry, plum, vanilla, dark chocolate, butterscotch, and smoke are framed by a subtle earthy element, composing an intensely complex result.
