{"title":"Greece","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreek wine has quietly become one of Europe's most rewarding finds. Behind the holiday carafe and the retsina of old, a new generation of growers is making serious wines from grapes you will barely find anywhere else: Assyrtiko, Xinomavro and a cast of rare island varieties. This selection leans towards small, ambitious producers working with exactly those grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGreek white wine: Santorini Assyrtiko and the island whites\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreece's most famous white comes from Santorini. Phylloxera never took hold in the island's volcanic soils, so many vines are old and grow on their own roots, trained into low baskets (kouloura) that shelter the grapes from the relentless wind. Assyrtiko here gives a bone-dry, salty, tightly wound wine with citrus and flint. Artemis Karamolegos Santorini is a textbook example: mostly Assyrtiko with a little Athiri and Aidani from old vines, fermented and aged on its lees in steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Kefalonia, Sclavos Wines farms old, dry-grown bush vines biodynamically. Vino di Sasso is pure Robola, the island's signature grape, while Zakynthino and Tsaousi are rarities few drinkers have ever tasted. On Crete, Theros Wines in Heraklion bottles single-vineyard Vidiano and Thrapsathiri, blends built around the almost-lost Plyto grape, and a Brut Nature sparkling wine. If you like a taut, mineral \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/white-wine\"\u003ewhite wine\u003c\/a\u003e, these are the bottles to explore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGreek red wine: Xinomavro from Naoussa\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXinomavro means \"sour black\", and the name fits: high acidity, firm tannins and notes of cherry, tomato leaf, dried roses and olive. It is often compared with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nebbiolo\"\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/a\u003e, and the best wines age for many years. Thymiopoulos Vineyards in Trilofos, Naoussa, farms biodynamically and is one of the grape's leading champions. Erde und Himmel (Ghi kai Ouranos in Greek, \"Earth and Sky\") blends fruit from low and high vineyards, Vrana Petra comes from a single site, and the Rosé de Xinomavro shows the grape's bright, fresh side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, Agiorgitiko is the grape of Nemea in the Peloponnese, softer and darker-fruited. On Kefalonia, Sclavos makes Orgion, a dry, oak-aged Mavrodaphne, and Thiniatiko, a blend of local red grapes. Both are a world away from the usual \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/red-wine\"\u003ered wine\u003c\/a\u003e suspects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural and skin-contact Greek wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow-intervention winemaking has found a natural home in Greece.

Thymiopoulos is known for careful, largely organic-minded viticulture, with much of the vineyard work done by hand, including selective harvesting to pick only perfectly ripe bunches. In the cellar, the approach is deliberately gentle: grapes are often fermented with a proportion of whole clusters, using native yeasts, with long but delicate maceration to extract fine tannins rather than heaviness. Maturation typically takes place in large, neutral or lightly seasoned oak, helping the wine gain texture and complexity without overt wood influence, and bottling is done with minimal intervention to retain the character of the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVrana Petra 2019 is a highly food-friendly red that works beautifully with dishes that echo its balance of brightness and savouriness. Think grilled lamb chops with rosemary, slow-braised lamb shanks, herb-crusted pork, roasted duck, or rich tomato-based stews. It also pairs well with Mediterranean vegetable dishes, stuffed peppers, moussaka, mushroom-based plates, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18 °C; if the wine is very young or recently opened, a short decant of 30–60 minutes helps soften the tannins and open up the aromatics. For older bottles with some age, a gentle splash-decant just before serving is enough to let the wine unfold without losing its delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThymiopoulos Vineyards, led by Apostolos Thymiopoulos, has become one of Greece’s reference producers for Xinomavro and a key name in the northern region of Macedonia.

Combining indigenous varieties with low‑intervention winemaking, it offers a distinctive, genuinely Greek expression that stands apart from more international styles.\n\nThis cuvée’s unique selling point lies in its blend of native red grapes, grown organically and vinified with minimal manipulation to protect their natural freshness and aromatic complexity.
