The Boutari Winery owns 6 wineries in Greece. In 1879, the Boutaris Company was founded in the town of Naoussa in Northern Greece having a main goal of producing and trading quality bottled red wine. In 1906, the first privately owned winery and wine retail store was built in Naoussa. The first Greek red bottled wine, “Naoussa Boutari”, will be produced and bottled in this winery. A classic red vinification was held for the 1879 Boutari Legacy with a strong degree of extraction of components, necessary for a wine that is aging. The wine remains in French oak barrels for approximately 24 months.
