We wait for the new vintages from Dalamaras Winery with incredible anticipation—especially Naoussa Dalamaras. Nothing gets released unless Kostis is completely satisfied. And every year, this Naoussa just keeps getting better.
A textbook example of the variety, it proudly shows off its place of origin. Under normal circumstances, a 2023 Naoussa is something you’d only start thinking about drinking after 2027. Thankfully, those days are behind us, thanks to the efforts and experimentation of the new generation of winemakers of the region. Kostis and the “gang” of young, talented Naoussa winemakers are redefining the traditionally strict style of the area’s wines, making them enjoyable even in their youth—something that would’ve been unthinkable in the past, given the variety’s naturally high acidity and firm tannins.
So here we have Naoussa Dalamaras, crafted by one of the most gifted Greek oenologists and winemakers, Kostis Dalamaras. After studying in Burgundy and gaining experience in Alsace, Roussillon, and Catalonia, he returned to breathe new life into the historic family winery at the entrance of the town of Naoussa—blending tradition with the most modern international winemaking techniques.
