I think I already confessed my weakness for Greek wines several times here. But again: I believe there is a big trend ahead with those wines, and it will last despite the recent financial crisis in the country. Original varieties, a diversity in Terroirs and styles as well as ageing potential are all arguments that speak for durable success of Greek wineries.

This is a bottle I once received from my Greek friend Faye. It is a privately produced family wine like they’re often made over there. The particularity here, and this time I don’t know if it’s still common usage in Greece (It isn’t!), is that the wine has been crushed by feet, including the Tod’s-loafer-accustomed luxury feet of my friend (;-))
After hearing such a thing I’m usually pretty quick on jokes. But I decided this time Read the rest of this entry »

After having been a bit intrigued by the last bottle of this wine I decided to give it another shot. I popped and poured it without decanting or delay, turned it a bit in a big glass and took a big sniff. Read the rest of this entry »

Christos Kokkalis ist vor allem in Deutschland als der griechische Kultwinzer schlechthin bekannt. Der ehemals in Mönchengladbach lebende Apotheker hat sich im West-Peloponnes einen Traum erfüllt und mit visionärer Attitude als Autodidakt ein Weingut aufgebaut. Vor allem sein Top Rotwein Trilogia – ein reinsortiger Cabernet Sauvignon – fand viel Anklang in der hiesigen Weinszene. Read the rest of this entry »

Christos Kokkalis is known as one of Greece’s top winemakers; Well, at least for us Germans, because as far as I know, this Greek pharmacist who once lived in Germany and came back for realizing his dream of a winery only sells his wines on the German market so far. His Cabernet Sauvignon named Trilogia was thus solely acclaimed by the German wine scene as being able to play in the league of great Bordeaux wines. Read the rest of this entry »

Greek Wine again! This time from the Peloponnese region Nemea. Nemea is an ideal place for wine growing with the bright Greek sun on daytime and high elevations permitting grapes to cool down during nighttime. I heard that’s quite a good thing for having aromatic grapes.

Skouras Estate, which I visited some years ago, has built up a state of the art winery and grows autochthon grapes like Agiorgitiko but also international varieties such as Cabernet and Merlot. Their goal is, I assume, to create appealing Terroir wines with clear regional identity but also modern and elegant Cuvées which are able to compete internationally, in other words which are more or less aiming to match the “global wine taste”. Those last words sounded a bit dismissive, but the truth is I have perfect comprehension for it; every new wine region has to fight for attention by claiming its part of this global wine market. And it doesn’t necessarily mean the wines are bad. Read the rest of this entry »
