Negoska is a red Greek wine grape variety (Negushka) that is grown primarily in Central Macedonia. Around the town of Goumenissa the grape is blended with Xynomavro to produce very fruity wines with high alcohol levels.J. Robinson Jancis Robinson's Guide to Wine Grapes pg 127 Oxford University Press 1996
Wine styles According to wine expert Oz Clarke, Negoska is capable of producing soft, full-bodied red wines with many rich fruit flavors. The grape can have low to moderate acidity levels and is often blended with more acidic and tannic Xynomavro grape.Oz Clarke Encyclopedia of Grapes pg 164 Harcourt Books 2001
