The wine region of Pieria
Greek PGI at the foot of Mount Olympus in Central Macedonia, between mountain and Aegean Sea, climate tempered by sea breezes. Malagouzia is the signature indigenous white: aromatic and ample with stone fruit, citrus, white flowers and tropical hints. Assyrtiko is tense and mineral; Xinomavro and Kolindrino offer structured indigenous reds with dark fruit and dried tomato. Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet complement.
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: Skinny
Thin and lacking in substance in the mouth.
