GREECE

Wine has been embedded in Greek culture for over 4,000 years and the ancient Greeks were known for pioneering new methods of viticulture and winemaking. Today, there is a drive towards high quality wine grapes being grown, not only on the Greek mainland but also on the beautiful Greek islands such as the stunning volcanic island of Santorini.

While Assyrtiko is considered the top white grape, there are around 300 indigenous grapes grown in Greece, and this has resulted in a vast array of wine styles to choose from. In recent years, innovative teams of winemakers have established exciting new wineries across the country and Greek wines continue to grow in popularity.
