Wine in Rodochori, Naoussa

Argatia ★ 4.1

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.

Argatia Tasting Room ★ 4.0

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.

Argatia ★ 3.9

Argatia farms at 540 metres in the hillside village of Rodochori, twelve kilometres from Naoussa town, bottling a Naoussa PDO Xinomavro alongside PGI wines from Malagousia, Assyrtiko, Negoska and Mavrodaphne.

Why locals love it: Twelve kilometres out at 540 metres in a hillside village most skip, with a wider range than other small cellars: Malagousia, Assyrtiko, Negoska, Mavrodaphne.

Tip: The white and rosé PGI bottlings are a useful contrast to visit for, since the PDO rule keeps every other Naoussa red to Xinomavro alone.
