PALIOKALIAS 2017 - DOMAINE DALAMARA

Paliokalias is the iconic, limited production label of Domaine Dalamara, one of the most historic wineries of Naousa with a two-century long history. Its name comes from one of the most known vineyard sites (crus) of Naoussa. 

With the noticeable mark of the talented Kostis Dalamaras (a wine producer that you should pay attention to in the future), Paliokalias 2017 is a Naoussa that redetermines the term, binding the past with the future. The use of indigenous yeasts, the little use of new barrels during the maturing and the bottling without filtering, contribute to the full expression of the terroir and the Xinomavro variety in an excellent year.

Paliokalias 2017 is a red wine which although young, you will adore it now, but it will surely reward those who can wait for it for a decade.

In the glass, its colour is dark ruby red.

In the nose, expressive and complex aromas of blackberry, berry, plum, red ripe cherry and bitter cherry are gradually enhanced as the wine breathes, complemented by vanilla, spice and black pepper. Wet soil, mashroom, olive paste and tobacco add depth while the Xinomavro's characteristic tomato paste appears gradually.

On the palate, body is medium with strong, exceptionally fine grained tannins that are intergrated beautifully and bind harmoniously with its high acidity. The tomato notes accompanied by strawberry and delicate oak and cedar nuances long-lasting finish.
