About Tetramythos Winery

Tetramythos is one of Greece’s most exciting organic wineries, located in the cool mountain foothills of the northern Peloponnese.

About the Peloponnese region

The Peloponnese is a historic and diverse wine region in southern Greece, home to some of the country's most ancient vineyards. Its mix of altitude, sea breezes, and limestone soils makes it ideal for vibrant reds and crisp, structured whites. It’s a hotbed for quality organic and low-intervention winemaking, especially from native Greek varieties.

How to pair it

This is a food-loving wine that goes with grilled meats, roasted aubergine, moussaka, or hearty lentil dishes. It also shines with mezze spreads, tomato sauces, or simply slightly chilled with friends. Casual, characterful, and seriously drinkable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What red wine is popular in Greece?

Two of the most popular red wines in Greece are Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro. Agiorgitiko is known for its soft, juicy style with red fruit and spice, while Xinomavro offers more structure, tannin, and earthy depth, often compared to Nebbiolo or Pinot Noir.

What kind of wine is Agiorgitiko?

Agiorgitiko is a native Greek red grape mainly grown in the Peloponnese. It produces wines that are typically medium-bodied, smooth, and fruit-forward, with flavours of plum, cherry, and sweet spice, perfect for grilled meats and Mediterranean dishes.

What wine goes well with moussaka?

Moussaka pairs beautifully with a medium-bodied red wine like Agiorgitiko, Grenache, or a soft Syrah. Look for something with ripe fruit, soft tannins, and a bit of spice to complement the rich layers of aubergine, lamb, and béchamel.

Is organic red wine better for you?

Organic red wine is made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, which some drinkers prefer for environmental or health reasons. While it's not automatically “healthier,” it often contains fewer additives and is typically lower in sulphites.

What's the difference between organic wine and natural wine?

Organic wine refers to how the grapes are grown: without synthetic chemicals. Natural wine goes a step further, using wild fermentation and minimal intervention in the cellar, often without added sulphites. All natural wines are low-intervention, but not all are certified organic.
