The magic of Greek wines: Why Greece is back in fashion
Share
Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world – and is currently experiencing an impressive comeback. After years in which the focus was primarily on France, Italy, and Spain, the Mediterranean country is once again taking center stage in the international wine scene with modern, fresh, and characterful wines.
Greek winemakers are increasingly focusing on indigenous grape varieties, many of which are virtually unknown outside the country. Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, and Agiorgitiko, for example, impress with their unique aromas and distinctive character. At the same time, young winemaking families are investing in modern cellar technology, gentle processing, and sustainable cultivation.
What's particularly exciting is the diversity of the regions. From the mineral whites of Santorini to the powerful reds of Naoussa, Greece offers a wide range of aromas. Greek wines also score highly in terms of value for money.
Anyone looking for something new should definitely discover Greece – a country between tradition and innovation that can reinvent itself with every bottle.
