Discover the grape variety: Assyrtiko
Taut and mineral whites with exceptional cutting acidity and a lean palate, on intense aromas of lemon, grapefruit, green apple, white flowers, smoke and strongly marked volcanic saline-iodine notes. Fine ageing potential. The absolute star of Santorini PDO on the volcanic soils of the Cyclades (vines trained in kouloura baskets to protect against wind). Now exported to Australia, California and South Africa. Native Greek variety.

The wine region of Kavala
Greek PGI covering the Kavala prefecture and the island of Thassos, renowned terroir on the south-eastern foothills of Mount Pangaion where sea breezes from the Strymonikos Gulf keep temperatures fresh, stony well-drained soils. Assyrtiko and Malagousia are the native signature whites: Assyrtiko taut and mineral with citrus and a saline edge, Malagousia ample with stone fruits and flowers. Cabernet, Syrah, Merlot and Agiorgitiko in full-bodied reds with dark fruits and balanced tannins.
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.
