Greek wine & food pairing: Which combinations harmonize perfectly?

Greek wine isn't just for Mediterranean dishes – many varieties also pair fantastically with international cuisine. Here are some of the best combinations:

Assyrtiko + Fish & Seafood

The salty minerality of Assyrtiko is perfect for sea bream, octopus, mussels, or sushi. It also easily withstands fried calamari.

Moschofilero + light appetizers

Ideal with Greek salad, hummus, mezze, or vegan dishes. Its floral character refreshes and perfectly blends the flavors.

Malagousia + Asian cuisine

The slightly exotic fruit goes perfectly with Thai dishes, mild curries, chicken teriyaki or Vietnamese pho.

Agiorgitiko + Mediterranean meat

A wonderfully smooth red wine that goes particularly well with lamb chops, gyros, moussaka or pasta with tomato sauce.

Xinomavro + mature cheese

Its structure and complexity harmonize perfectly with Parmesan, Gruyere, Manchego, or aged goat cheese. Also a dream with steak.

Mavrodaphne + Dessert

Chocolate, baklava, cheesecake or nougat – a sweet, intense finish that gives every meal a perfect ending.

Greek wines are true all-rounders and go well with far more than just Mediterranean cuisine. With the right pairings, you can get the most out of every bottle.
