Greek Wine
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Greece produces wine across a diverse set of climates and terroirs, from the volcanic soils of the Aegean islands to the mountainous inland regions of Macedonia and Thessaly. Indigenous varieties dominate, with Assyrtiko delivering mineral-driven whites in Crete and northern regions like Serres, while Moschofilero contributes both conventional whites and extended-maceration orange wines from the Peloponnese. Agiorgitiko and the rare Limniona represent the red wine tradition, the latter cultivated by Domaine Zafeirakis in Thessaly's cooler elevations. Domaine Glinavos works with ancient Zitsa varieties for their oxidative Paleokerisio, a style rooted in northwestern Epirus tradition. The range spans fresh, early-drinking rosés from Siatista to age-worthy expressions such as Domaine Economou's Assyrtiko from Crete and the decade-old Lantides Moschofilero, demonstrating Greece's capacity for serious, cellar-worthy white wine.
