Why do we love it?

 It is undoubtedly one of the best and most historic Xinomavros produced in the region of Naoussa. Until recently you knew it by the name Chateau Pegasus. It changed in Markovitis Winery, but remained amazing. Naoussa 2017 of Markovtis Winery now returns with a great vintage and trully, there are many reasons to be excited! If you're wondering how much some of the world's best critics like it, we'll tell you. Voted first in the Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro category in the 50 GGW 2023 competition!

Young Markos Markovitis, after returning from his oenological studies at LVWO Winsberg Germany continues for third generation one of the most historic wineries of Naoussa. His main advantage? His single vineyard, in fact the first biological in Greece, extends in front of the winery, planted decades ago exclusively with Xinomavro.

The reasons for changing the flagship label Chateau Pegasus, were purely technical and have to do with the export at the United States. The beautiful, simple and traditionally without cap bottle hides an elegant Naoussa, without corners, a Naoussa which is at the crossroads of the classical and the new vision of the region. A Naoussa which is exactly as it should be.

12 months in oak second (mostly) use barrels and older, soften the tannins, round the palate and elaborately do not cover the primary aromas of the variety, only adding a light veil of spices. As for the Markovitis Winery 2017 aging potential? As history has shown, it is a wine with great evolving potential in time!

If you are looking for a Xinomavro with the perfect balance of intensity and refinement, this is your wine!

Wait for it for another 5 years or don't. Enjoy it with the rest of us now!
