Loved for its spiced richness and smooth balance, the palate opens with dark fruit layered with dates, oak, and warm honeyed notes. Medium-bodied and harmonious, it shows dry tannins and gentle acidity, finishing long with spice and herbal complexity. A medium garnet-red robe with brick reflections signals maturity and depth. Its luminous clarity highlights elegance, while the warm tones suggest both aromatic concentration and the traditional character of old-vine Xinomavro. In the aroma, gingerbread, oak, and dark honey mingle with dried fruit and herbs. The bouquet is fragrant and layered, offering both warmth and sophistication, evolving into savory depth as it opens in the glass.

Paliokalias is a single-vineyard expression of Xinomavro from Naoussa in northern Greece, produced by the family-run Dalamara estate. With deep roots in the region, this wine reflects both the heritage of Naoussa’s structured reds and the craftsmanship of small-scale, artisanal production.
