Its name is strange. The variety is unknown. Natural vinification without sulphites. The label is teasing, almost revolutionary. Its production is only 400 bottles!
Dalamaras Winery, with talented Kostis Dalamaras leading, is known for its experimental and collectible vinifications that sell out in a blink and soon become legendary (see Triadique, Negosca etc.).
"Entre deux Greles" means "Between two Hails". Everybody calls it NG 14 or natural Negoska.
The unknown variety Negoska from one of the best spots of the «grand cru» area of Paliokalias, was harvested in adverse weather conditions, and selected berry by berry in a year almost catastrophic for the region of Naoussa. The precious must filled just one French oak barrel and remained there for 6 months.
It belongs to natural wines as it was vinified and bottled without the addition of sulfur at any stage of the process.
The guy on the label seems to be celebrating the arrival of the new lovely red wine by Dalamaras Winery, but also celebrates the success of creating a stunning wine against adverse weather conditions.
We should celebrate!
