KARYDAS (Macedonia, Greece)

Konstantinos Karydas and his son, Petros, tend a 2 ha vineyard of pure Xinomavro at Gastra in the centre of the Naoussa appellation just below the town of Naoussa itself. The elevation is about 200m above sea level. The vines, well exposed to sunlight and planted in a soil of light clay that lies over limestone, are an object lesson in careful cultivation. A significant part of the production of around 12,000 bottles has won an appreciative following in the United States and the wines have won high marks from the Wine Advocate (89 for the 2000)
