Tasting Notes

Xinomavro is often compared to Nebbiolo, and this mature example shows exactly why. Dried cherry, wild strawberry and sun-dried tomato mingle with notes of leather, sweet spice and woodland herbs. The fruit remains vibrant, while years of bottle age have added layers of savoury complexity and intrigue.

About Taralas Estate

Taralas Estate is a small, quality-focused winery in Naoussa, northern Greece, working mainly with Xinomavro from hillside vineyards influenced by mountain air and cooler nights. The approach is hands-on in the vineyard and measured in the cellar, aiming to balance structure with drinkability. Xinomavro here shows its classic traits of bright acidity, fine tannins and savoury detail, often with a slightly softer, more approachable edge. Taralas Estate has built a steady reputation for honest, well-made wines that capture the character of Naoussa without overcomplicating things.

About Naoussa

Naoussa sits in northern Greece and is one of the country’s key regions for structured, ageworthy reds based on the Xinomavro grape. The vineyards lie on the slopes of Mount Vermio where altitude and a continental climate help maintain acidity and slow ripening. Xinomavro is known for its firm tannins and ability to develop complexity over time, making it well-suited to long term ageing. The region has a strong winemaking tradition with increasing focus on precision and site expression. Naoussa has built a clear reputation for serious, long lived wines with a distinct regional identity.
