El Celler Catala
El Celler Catala

Light and soft skins on grapes, a wine that is ruby and boyish. Not over-worked.
Nose: Sun-tanned slopes with mild herbs, and burnt grass.
Taste & style: Enjoyably drinkable without brow-wrinkles. A red for prevailing high-temperatures, outdoors & light meats and soft liver with a fresh salad, all seasoned in the mediterranian style.
Made of: Xinomavro (100 %)

One tends to think that there is only one PARIS. But as there is also Paris, Texas - and a dozen or more around there - there's a Naoussa on an island called Paros. It is located in the middle of the undulating waters of the Aegean sea, not on the mainland of Greece of our wine.

Naoussa, Paros is a relaxed, non-beach, fishermen's harbour with a short street of enjoyable restaurants a bit off the seashore (and with a more boisterous seafront with ouzeries, restaurants, and the mundane bar-in-a-church that makes everything balanced). And there are some blocks of houses towards the sea with interesting artisan workshops.

On the way to the artisan blocks there's the only dedicated wineshop in town (wine is ofcourse available in all the minutest "super-stores"). There I have worked my liver up to extremes finding many of the Greek wines on these pages (and numerous ones only enjoyed privately), with the nice assistance of the lady in the shop.

But the real experience of Paros comes from sipping Naoussa Boutari (or the excellent Paros Retsina) in a little village, on a veranda looking towards the sea, but being just slightly too much into the inland, so that you'll be enjoying the cats & kittens, the guarding dog, the fowl in the yard & the fruit trees and the vinyard hanging both above and below you, the goats and the yellow fields of late summer. And enjoying the owners of the place who made you guests of honour in their village festival reserved only for the locals. And forgiving you (and making it easy to forgive yourself) in the morning after you made a lovable fool of yourself by dancing all those greek dances in a trance.
