Here you will find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions for this category.
What is the famous Greek wine?
Assyrtiko from Santorini is probably Greece's most internationally recognised wine, known for its mineral intensity and ability to age. However, Xinomavro is also considered Greece's most noble red grape variety.
What type of wine is popular in Greece?
Greece produces excellent reds, whites, and rosés, but the country is particularly known for its distinctive white wines made from indigenous grape varieties like Assyrtiko, Moschofilero, and Malagousia. Red wines from Xinomavro are also highly regarded.
What is the national wine of Greece?
While Greece doesn't have an official "national wine," Retsina - a white wine flavoured with pine resin - is the most traditionally Greek wine. However, modern Greek winemaking focuses more on premium grapes like Assyrtiko and Xinomavro.
What is Greek white wine called?
Greek white wines are made from various indigenous grapes. The most famous is Assyrtiko, but you'll also find Moschofilero, Malagousia, Roditis, and Savatiano, among others. Each grape variety has its own name rather than a collective term.
What is Assyrtiko wine like?
Assyrtiko produces crisp, mineral-driven white wines with high natural acidity and citrus flavours. It's known for its ability to retain freshness even in hot climates and can age beautifully, developing complex honey and stone fruit notes while maintaining its mineral backbone.
Is Assyrtiko similar to Sauvignon Blanc?
Not really. While both are crisp and acidic, Assyrtiko is much more mineral-focused with less herbaceous character than Sauvignon Blanc. Assyrtiko has better ageing potential and develops more complex flavours over time, whereas Sauvignon Blanc is typically enjoyed young and fresh.
What kind of wine is Xinomavro?
Xinomavro is Greece's most prestigious red grape, producing full-bodied wines with high tannins and acidity. The wines are known for their earthy, savoury character with notes of tomato leaf, olives, and spices. They age exceptionally well, developing complex flavours over 10-20 years.
Is Xinomavro like Pinot Noir?
There are some similarities: both are high in acidity and can be quite earthy, but Xinomavro is generally more robust and tannic than Pinot Noir. It's often compared to Nebbiolo from Italy due to its structure and ageing potential, though it has its own distinct Greek character with more herbal and savoury notes.
