Vaeni Naoussa

Macedonian Xinomavro from the Naoussa region, structured and mineral-driven.

Vaeni Naoussa works with Xinomavro, the indigenous red grape of Macedonia's Naoussa region. The winery's portfolio centers on this variety, which thrives in the region's continental climate and produces wines of structure and minerality. Emeros Blanc de Noir, a skin-contact expression of Xinomavro, represents the winery's exploration of the grape's aromatic potential. Naoussa Grande Reserve and Damascenos round out the core range, each offering different expressions of the terroir. The wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate, reflecting their engagement with serious Greek viticulture. Xinomavro demands attention—it is high in tannin and acidity, built for food and time. Vaeni Naoussa's releases demonstrate the grape's capacity for complexity within the Macedonian context.
