Wine Description:
Boutari Naoussa Boutari Grande Reserve is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Greek winery, Boutari. It comes from the Naoussa appellation, which is known for its high-quality Xinomavro grapes.

The result is a complex and elegant wine with aromas of red fruit, spices, and vanilla, and a medium-bodied, tannic palate with a long finish. It is a perfect match for grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses.

Wine Expert Note:

This medium-bodied red offers a complex nose of ripe red berries, chocolate, and earthy spices. On the palate, it's lush and velvety, with flavors of blackberries, plums, and cherries, complemented by a hint of espresso and toasted oak. The finish is long and balanced, with a pleasant hint of licorice. Enjoy with grilled meats or hearty stews.

Crafted from 100% Xinomavro grapes, this wine is a true reflection of the Amyndeon plateau's distinctive terroir. Nestled in the Amyndeon viticulture zone within North-western Macedonia, specifically the "Hedgehog" sub-region, the 69 hectares of privately owned vineyards thrive at altitudes ranging from 620 to 710 meters. With a north-facing exposure towards Lake Petron and Mount Voras, the grapes benefit from a unique microclimate. The winemaking process involves careful destemming, cold soaking with skin contact, and gradual temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation. The wine matures for twelve months in French oak barrels, followed by an additional twelve months in the bottle, resulting in a harmonious and expressive Xinomavro.
