Chrysochou Estate

The Chrysochou estate is located four kilometers outside Naoussa, in the area of ​​Strandza. There, on the southeastern slopes of Vermio, in the viticultural zone 'OPAP Naoussa' we met the "Ktima Chrysochou" winery and his vineyards We met him Κειμη Χρυσοχόου, which took us to the production and bottling room, wine tasting room, a museum space consisting of various viticultural and oenological objects, as well as the cellar, a brand new space that offers the ideal environment for the maturation and aging of wines.

The Chrysochou winery was one of the first in the area and was one of the first to perform in Naoussa, White wine from a variety of black and white grapes (white of black).

The production of the Chrysochou winery is currently 300 thousand bottles per year, of which 30% goes to exports.

«My father was a merchant and had various products. The 1972 - when Mr. Giannis Boutaris started - when the condition for making a PDO bottle Naoussa was to have your own vineyard, my father started to deal with wine, but also with ouzo, tsipoura and liqueurs. When I got a job in 1970, I eliminated ouza and liqueurs, and only dealt with wine. Then we started sour and black vines».

Ο Chemistry (from Joachim) Chrysochou, with his wife Betty, his daughter -onologist- Nana, his groom Stathis, his son John and his daughter Catherine, have built a large unit (the third in the area, after Mr. Giannis and the Cooperative), visitable winery with an extremely elegant space for wine tasting, dominated by large wooden tables-constructions, the surfaces of which are ornate old doors, mosaics , paintings and artistic creations.

«We were the only ones who take wine from the old variety Priknadi and produce it Prekiniariko, with 10 thousand bottles per year while from Blanc du noir we make around 50.000. We love what we do. We want to strengthen our region and its famous variety Xinomavro, so that Naoussa becomes the place that someone will visit to drink it, but also to eat well and get to know it really».
