2022 Argatia Winery Haroula Red

This 2022 Argatia Winery Haroula Red captures the rugged beauty of Naoussa with striking clarity. It blends Xinomavro, Negkoska, and Mavrodaphne into a wine that feels both soulful and energetic. Bright red fruit meets earthy depth, creating a rhythm that shifts with every sip. The high‑elevation vineyards lend freshness, giving the wine a lifted, almost breezy quality. Subtle spice threads through the mid‑palate, adding tension and intrigue. There’s a rustic charm here, but also a polished elegance that sneaks up on you. It’s the kind of Greek red that surprises you with its balance and lingers long after the glass is empty.

Nose:
Fresh cherry aromas rise first, vivid and inviting. Strawberry and plum follow, adding juicy brightness. A hint of dried tomato and violets lingers beneath, giving the bouquet a savory, floral twist.

Palate:
The palate opens with polished berry flavors, led by cherry and plum. Mild spice weaves through the fruit, adding warmth and dimension. Mineral undertones bring structure, while fine tannins create a smooth, confident texture.

Finish:
The finish lingers with refreshing acidity and a gentle rustic edge. Red fruit fades slowly, leaving a clean, persistent echo. A final whisper of spice and mineral adds depth and invites another sip.

Pair it with Greek stuffed tomatoes to highlight its savory notes. Grilled lamb brings out its earthy depth. Mushroom‑based dishes complement its rustic charm. A hearty pasta with herbs and tomato sauce creates a seamless, flavorful match.
