i. Biography
Kostis Dalamaras has held the winemaker’s role at Dalamara Winery in Naousa, Greece, from 2011 to the present, and that continuity is central to the work. In a trade often shaped by movement and reinvention, this career stays anchored to one estate and one place: Naousa, with its history, its landscape, and the steady tempo of a winery that has been his professional home for more than a decade. Since 2011, the wines have been made within the terms of Dalamara Winery, where the identity of the bottles and the identity of the place are closely bound. The significance of that tenure lies not only in its length, but in its focus. Dalamaras is a winemaker defined by steadiness and specificity, by returning to the same terrain and the same house style. At Dalamara Winery, his role has been to shape wines that speak clearly about Naousa, carrying the character of the region through each vintage. The result is work rooted in place rather than novelty, and measured by continuity rather than reinvention.
