Boutari Grande Reserve Naoussa is a renowned wine hailing from the Naoussa region in Greece, crafted exclusively from the Xinomavro grape varietal. This varietal is often compared to Nebbiolo, owing to its complex structure and aging ability. Nestled in the rolling hills of Naoussa, the vineyards benefit from a continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers, ideal for late-ripening Xinomavro. The wine undergoes extended aging in French oak barrels before further refinement in the bottle, developing its signature notes over a period of time. Known for its exceptional structure and elegance, Boutari Grande Reserve has earned numerous accolades, securing its place as a staple among lovers of Greek reds. A reflection of Greece’s rich winemaking heritage, it is a testament to traditional viticultural practices and innovative techniques employed by Boutari Winery.
