A white PGI Imathia bottling from the Gastra estate, listed on the producer's own wines page as the entry point below the two PDO Naoussa reds.
Tip: The one white on a mostly-red list, worth trying before committing to the estate's PDO reds.
The Nea Strantza estate's PDO Naoussa red, named on the Greek wine producers association's own winery page, which lists Domaine Foundi among current PDO members.
Tip: A small-production estate wine, so availability outside Greece can be patchy compared to the larger Naoussa houses.
The organically farmed Paliokalias estate's standard PDO Naoussa red, named on the Greek wine producers association's winery page and priced under twenty euros.
Tip: Certified organic and still under twenty euros, an unusual combination for a PDO Naoussa bottling at this price.
The Dalamari estate's PDO Naoussa Xinomavro, a straightforward varietal red from one of the appellation's smaller family cellars, priced under twenty euros.
Tip: One of the least expensive true PDO Naoussa bottlings from a cellar that still pours it at the estate itself.
The cooperative's entry PDO Naoussa bottling, one hundred percent Xinomavro from member growers across the appellation. Listed on VAENI's own range page as a dry red under fifteen euros.
Tip: The cheapest genuine PDO Naoussa bottle from a producer that also runs a visitor programme at the Episkopi cellar.
Xinomavro from the estate's younger Trilofos plantings, made for early drinking rather than cellaring. The producer's own range page lists it as the entry point into the ten-label lineup.
Tip: Open this one within two or three years of release rather than holding it, unlike the estate's site-specific bottlings.
The house's standard Naoussa PDO bottling, on the market since Boutari began estate-labelled Xinomavro. The widest-distributed way to taste the appellation without visiting a cellar door.
Tip: The winery itself takes no visitors, so this bottle at a Naoussa restaurant or shop is the practical way to taste the house style.
