Collection: Greek Wine

Greece has been making wine for thousands of years, yet it still feels wonderfully fresh. Indigenous grapes like Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, Agiorgitiko and Malagousia produce wines with unmistakable character, while a new generation of growers continues to show why Greece has become one of Europe's most exciting wine-producing countries.

Explore More of Our Collection

Greek wine has become one of Europe's most exciting success stories. While countries like France, Italy and Spain have centuries of fame behind them, Greece has spent the last few decades rediscovering its native grape varieties and proving just how much character they can produce. Today you'll find everything from crisp volcanic whites to elegant, age-worthy reds, often offering outstanding value compared to better-known wine regions.

The real appeal of Greek wine lies in its indigenous grapes. Assyrtiko produces wonderfully fresh, mineral whites that are brilliant with seafood, while Malagousia offers fragrant stone fruit and floral aromas. On the red side, Xinomavro brings structure and savoury complexity that often draws comparisons with Nebbiolo, while Agiorgitiko produces generous, fruit-driven wines that can range from easy-drinking to seriously cellar-worthy. Rather than copying international styles, Greece has built its reputation around grapes found nowhere else.

Volcanic soils of Santorini, the mountains of northern Greece, the warm vineyards of the Peloponnese and Crete, every region has its own identity. Modern Greek winemakers have embraced lower yields, careful vineyard work and a lighter touch in the cellar, allowing these distinctive grape varieties to shine. The result is wines with freshness, balance and a real sense of place that continue to surprise people trying them for the first time.

Greek wines are some of the most versatile bottles you'll find around the dinner table. Assyrtiko is a natural partner for grilled fish and shellfish, while Xinomavro works beautifully with roast lamb, tomatoes and Mediterranean cooking. If you're already familiar with Greece's native varieties or looking to move beyond the usual Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, this is one of the most rewarding wine regions to explore. Once you've found a producer you enjoy, it's very easy to keep coming back for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Greek wine different?

Greek wine stands out because of its native grape varieties, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. Combined with diverse landscapes, volcanic soils and a warm Mediterranean climate, they produce wines with plenty of freshness, character and a real sense of place.

What are the most famous Greek grape varieties?

Assyrtiko is Greece's best-known white grape, producing crisp, mineral wines, while Xinomavro and Agiorgitiko are the country's leading red varieties. You'll also come across Malagousia, Moschofilero and many other indigenous grapes that are well worth exploring.

Are Greek wines good value?

Yes. Greek wine often offers exceptional value because many producers remain relatively unknown outside Greece. You'll regularly find bottles that compete with far more expensive wines from France, Italy and Spain while offering something completely different.

What food pairs well with Greek wine?

Greek wines are naturally food-friendly. Assyrtiko is brilliant with seafood, grilled fish and salads, while reds like Xinomavro and Agiorgitiko pair beautifully with roast lamb, grilled meats, tomato-based dishes and Mediterranean cooking.

Is Greek wine only made from native grapes?

No. Greece grows international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay alongside its indigenous grapes. However, it's the native varieties that have helped Greek wine earn its reputation and are usually the best place to start.

Where should I start with Greek wine?

If you enjoy crisp, mineral white wines, try an Assyrtiko. If you prefer elegant, structured reds, Xinomavro is an excellent choice, while Agiorgitiko offers a softer, fruit-forward style that's easy to enjoy. They're a brilliant introduction to one of Europe's most exciting wine regions.
