Family cellar working an organically farmed vineyard parcel on the Gastra hillside, worked since 1918. The producer's own site names the organic plot separately from its conventional rows.
Tip: No certifying body is named on the producer's own page, so ask at the cellar door which lots go into which bottling.
Address: M. Agra 14, 59200 Naoussa, Imathia, Greece
Thymiopoulos ferments its Xinomavro Nature bottling with indigenous yeast and adds no sulfites, the one cuvee in the estate's ten-wine range built on low-intervention methods.
Tip: This is a single cuvee within a conventional range, not an estate-wide natural conversion, so ask specifically for it by name.
The producer's own product page states no added sulfites on this indigenous-yeast Xinomavro, the estate's only bottling made this way among its Naoussa PDO range.
Tip: Drink young. No-added-sulfite bottlings from this estate are made for the current release, not for long cellaring.
Fifth-generation family cellar at Paliokalias farming Xinomavro organically. The estate's own visit route opens in the garden overlooking the organic vineyard rows.
Tip: The organic parcel is where the cellar-door tour begins, before the fermentation tanks and ageing vault.
