Producer
Chrisohoou
Young generation Nana Chrisohoou continues the family tradition of winemaking established by her father Kimis Chrishoou on the family’s owned vineyards in the area Strantza of Naoussa. The vineyard is extended in the South Eastern slopes of mountain Vermion, at an altitude of 250 metres. The area is hilly with sandy clay soil and the microclimate is characterized by cold winters with northern wind spells and good precipitation, followed by mild dry summers. The Chrisohoou family has saved the variety Prekniariko from extinction and they were the first to create a monovarietal wine from this grape and moreover of distinguished style.
