The wine region of Lakonia
Greek PGI (2000) covering the southeast tip of the Peloponnese, coastal and mountain terroirs around Monemvasia. Kydonitsa is the signature native white — a rising star among Greek varieties: dry and aromatic with intense quince, citrus, white flowers and a mineral hint, lively acidity. Historic Monemvasia as an ample white. Agiorgitiko and Mavroudi as signature reds with ripe red fruits, plum and a spiced hint, supple tannins.
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.
