Hidden Gems in Strantza

Ktima Chrisohoou ★ 3.9

Strantza

The Chrisohoou family has farmed at Strantza since 1948, bottling Xinomavro under the Naoussa PDO. Its own distribution page names importers in the United States, Canada, Germany, Cyprus, Poland and China.

Why locals love it: A family cellar in Strantza since 1948 that exports as far as Canada, yet has almost no visibility on Naoussa's own tourism pages, its wines better known abroad than at home.

Tip: Ktima Chrisohoou appears by name in a US importer's own Greek portfolio listing, evidence the export reach is real, not just a marketing claim.
