The wine region of Cyclades
Greek IGP of the Cycladic islands in the Aegean (dark volcanic soils, meltemi winds, hydro-stress, kouloura bush-trained vines on Santorini, >30 m depth): Assyrtiko as world-class signature white — sharp acidity and intense volcanic salinity, candied citrus, white flowers and iodine notes, textured body preserved in the dry climate. Aidani and Athiri as delicate complements. Vinsanto as golden passito. Two major PDOs (Santorini and Paros), IGP 2008.
The wine region of Aegean Sea
West Turkish coastal region (Izmir, Manisa, Denizli, Aydin), ~53% of national production, sunny Mediterranean climate. Sultaniye: light and fresh with citrus, apple, melon. Bornova Misketi: aromatic and floral (rose, honey). Reds: Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah dense and sunny (blackcurrant, blackberry, pepper, garrigue, firm tannins) — international varieties that ripen perfectly here.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
