Naoussa has many stories, but only a few names that shaped its heartbeat. Domaine Dalamara is one of them. A family that has been making wine here since 1840 and now led by Kostis Dalamaras, the sixth generation who returned from Burgundy and Catalonia to take an old estate and quietly push it into a new era.

Everything at Dalamara comes from commitment. Certified organic farming since the 90s. Old vines rooted in limestone clay on the eastern foothills of Vermio. Horses in the vineyard, wild vegetation between the rows, and a cellar that believes in patience over manipulation. Kostis ferments with native yeasts, uses minimal sulfur, rejects fining and filtration, and lets time do what shortcuts cannot. You taste that honesty in every wine.

The style is unmistakable. Pure fruit, clean lines, Naoussa structure delivered with restraint instead of muscle. The entry-level Naoussa is already serious and transparent, and Paliokalias remains one of Greece’s defining single vineyards, a reference point for how deep and long-lived Xinomavro can be when everything is done right.

Domaine Dalamara is not loud. It doesn’t need to be. This is Naoussa at its most authentic, shaped by a winemaker who knows exactly when to intervene and when to get out of the way. A historic estate carried forward by skill, humility, and the kind of continuity you simply cannot fake.
