Greek wine: an ancient tradition, reborn
Greek wines were among the most coveted in the ancient world, and Greece was a pioneer of the winemaking arts, famously presenting its wines in artistic vessels. Today that heritage is thriving again, powered by around 300 indigenous grape varieties found nowhere else. Buying Greek wine online at Finding Wine is a journey through one of the most distinctive and exciting wine cultures in the Mediterranean, where ancient roots meet a dynamic modern scene.
Santorini, Nemea and the great Greek grapes
From the sun-baked volcanic vineyards of Santorini to the hillsides of Nemea, Greece offers dry whites, structured reds, sweet Muscats and fresh sparkling wines. Look for signature grapes such as Assyrtiko, the mineral, high-acid white of Santorini, alongside Savatiano, Xinomavro, Agiorgitiko, Mavrodaphne and Robola. Around 70% of production is white, led by crisp, saline styles built for the Mediterranean table, while Xinomavro and Agiorgitiko produce reds of real depth and ageability.
Food pairing and serving
Greek wine is made for food. Bright Assyrtiko is superb with grilled fish, seafood and salads dressed in olive oil and lemon; Xinomavro reds echo Nebbiolo and pair with lamb and slow-cooked dishes; and sweet Muscat or Mavrodaphne round out dessert. These wines thrive alongside the herbs, olive oil and fresh produce of Mediterranean cuisine, making them endlessly versatile at the table.
