Goumenissa
A dry red wine with the Designation of Origin from Xinomavro and Negoska. Negoska, a grape with soft tones and a deep color, blend with the tannic, plum flavor Xinomavro and so “Goumenissa” is a wine with soft tannins, richness, finesse, and a long, very pleasant aftertaste. Goumenissa Aidarini is the typical expression of the quality characteristics of this small zone of Designation of Origin. The one-year maturing of the wine in oak barrels, gives it an exquisite bouquet with beautiful fruit, wood, and tobacco. An additional 2-3 year aging in the bottle.
