The wine region of Evia
Greek PGI on the island of Euboea (Greece's 2nd largest, facing Athens), Mediterranean climate freshened by Aegean breezes. Savatiano dominates (~80% of plantings): dry and light with citrus, green apple, Mediterranean herbs and a honeyed touch, fresh acidity, surprising ageing potential. Assyrtiko for tension, Malagousia for florals, Athiri in whites. Vradiano is the native red: fruity and spiced, complemented by Agiorgitiko and Cabernet.
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
