The 2005 XINOMAVRO EMEROS red is, like its white sibling, a vin de pays Macedonia, produced from Xinomavro in Naoussa by this large co-op. It is light, with a little acidity and tannin, and a grapey, rather sweet, simple feel thereafter. There is little character here and it is rather candied on the finish. The acidity rescues this wine to an extent, but it retains that very sweet finish. Drink now-2009. Vaeni Naoussa is a co-op that takes a large part of the Naoussa region’s production. Its focus has traditionally been on Xinomavro, making both white wines (from red grapes) and reds.Importer: Stellar Importing Co., Whitestone, N.Y.; tel: (718) 352-1180
