The wine region of Drama
Greek IGP of Eastern Macedonia (hills around Drama), mixed continental-Mediterranean climate, clay-limestone soils. Assyrtiko and Malagousia signature whites: taut and precise with notes of citrus, lime, white peach, white flowers and a saline mineral touch, vibrant acidity — leading white terroirs of continental Greece. Agiorgitiko supple red (cherry, raspberry, soft spices) and indigenous Limnio. Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah in international blends.
The wine region of Macedonia
Large wine region of northern Greece, 1st by volume, altitude vineyards tempered by mountain massifs. Signature Xinomavro ("acid black") as king grape: structured, complex reds with signature notes of tart cherry, dried tomato, black olive, Mediterranean herbs, leather and a mineral touch, firm tannins and long ageing — compared to Nebbiolo. Stars in PDO Naoussa, Amyndeon, Goumenissa and Rapsani. Also lively, mineral Assyrtiko, aromatic Malagousia as whites.
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
