The wine region of Slopes of Kitherona
Greek PGI between western Attica and Boeotia (Erythres area and Boeotia prefecture, cool slopes of Mount Kithairon, temperate continental climate, qualitative renaissance). Mouchtaro is the local native flagship red — dark concentrated berries and measured tannins. Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah as cool-climate reds with taut acidity, Malagousia as an aromatic white with floral and tropical fruit notes. A revival challenging the Savatiano and Roditis of Retsina country.
The wine region of Continental Greece
Vast region of central Greece (Attica, Boeotia, Euboea, Phocis. ), ~1/3 of national output.
The word of the wine: Liquid
Sweet wine containing more than 50 grams of residual sugar per liter. Sweet wines are made from grapes often affected by botrytis cinerea and concentrated either by passerillage (drying of the grapes on the vine stock), or after the harvest (straw wines), or by the cold (ice wines).
