The wine region of Ilia

PGI (2004) of north-west Peloponnese around Olympia, fertile plains and hills from 10 to 700 m irrigated by the Alfios and Pinios rivers, humid Mediterranean climate. Roditis and Avgoustiatis are the autochthonous signatures — Roditis as a pale pink-tinged white with lively citrus notes, stone fruit and a floral hint. Mavrodaphne full-bodied and liqueur-like in reds. Refosco, Agiorgitiko and Merlot in fleshy reds with red fruits and spices.


The wine region of Peloponnesos

Southern Greece, the country's 2nd region by volume, high-altitude vineyards (200-900 m). Signature Agiorgitiko at Nemea ("Hercules' Blood"): deep ruby reds with signature notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, sweet spices and a balsamic touch, supple tannins and a velvety palate — fleshy and accessible. At Mantinia (600 m), pink-skinned Moschofilero gives aromatic whites (rose, citrus, white flowers). Sweet fortified Mavrodaphne, fresh Roditis.
