Greek Varieties
Greek varieties refer to the diverse range of grape types cultivated in Greece, known for their unique flavors and characteristics. Some of the most notable varieties include Assyrtiko, a white grape from Santorini that produces crisp, mineral-driven wines, and Xinomavro, a red grape celebrated for its complexity and aging potential, primarily found in Naoussa.
These indigenous varieties are often used to create wines that reflect the country's rich terroir and winemaking traditions. Other important Greek varieties include Moschofilero, known for its aromatic profile, and Agiorgitiko, which is recognized for its fruit-forward style and smooth tannins.
