Naoussa is not only Xinomavro! And now that we've got your attention, read on.
The Xinomavro of the wine-growing area of Naoussa has countless possibilities and you now know that, in all its versions, it has unanimously won the position of the king of the region. What you may not have known until today, is that at the same time when the massive effort was made to revive the Xinomavro vineyards after the phylloxera attack, there was still a native variety in the foreground, but white, known as Preknadi. The winemakers of Naoussa have already been shocked by the variety's potential and have slowly and systematically begun to cultivate it again. And here it all begins!
Preknadi takes its name from the characteristic brown freckles it has on its fruit and is cultivated in relatively small quantities. In contrast, it has a special aromatic character and acidity that seems to get along very well with time. The Diamantakou family, on the other hand, with a long history dating back to 1978 in the vinification of the two varieties, has now passed into the third generation of winemakers and cultivates with passion the lost in-time variety of "Prekniariko". The result is to produce a jewel wine, both for the winery and for the region. Full-bodied, rich, and complex, a wine with exceptional character, it is a worthy companion of Xinomavros and impresses!
Remember this variety, because, in the coming years, it seems we will be very busy!
