| The first bottled wine available in Greece and the benchmark among Greek red wines, Naoussa Boutari has won many awards over the last 50 years both in Greece and internationally.
REGION: Naoussa.
VARIETY: Xinomavro.
TYPE: Red, dry.
AGING: Aged one year in French oak barrels.
CHARACTERISTICS: A classic Naoussa wine. Deep red in colour, with a strong personality. It gives off a rich bouquet of ripe red fruit that comes with aging (cinnamon, wood). Full-bodied, well- balanced, with good structure and soft tannins in its finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Served with red meat, sauces and yellow cheeses. |
I am really enjoying this wine. Very dry and almost amber in color. It has the feel of a well aged bottle but this is only a 2004. It's $11.50 and I would serve it with any nice Greek meat dish. I will certainly buy this one again.
