3 editor-picked estates growing Malagousia in Naoussa.
Where to taste Malagousia in Naoussa: the estates that grow it, how the region expresses the grape, and how to book a visit.
Based twelve kilometres from town in the hillside village of Rodochori at 540 metres, Argatia bottles a Naoussa PDO Xinomavro alongside PGI whites and reds from Malagousia, Assyrtiko, Negoska and Mavrodaphne.
Tasting: Open to visitors at the winery in Rodochori.
Tip: The Malagousia and Assyrtiko whites are a useful contrast to the region's Xinomavro-only PDO reds.
Based in the Dalamari area of Naoussa, Kokkinos Winery bottles a Naoussa PDO Xinomavro alongside a wider PGI Imathia range that runs from a Xinomavro-Merlot red blend to Roditis and Malagousia whites.
Tip: The Petinos range is the entry point into the wider PGI Imathia bottlings if the PDO Xinomavro is sold out.
Hillside cellar at 540 metres in Rodochori village, about twelve kilometres from Naoussa town, that the estate lists on its own site as a visitable winery for tasting its indigenous-variety range.
Tip: Rodochori sits well above the town on the mountain road, so budget extra driving time getting up from central Naoussa.
