Greece – Mainland covers a diverse range of wine regions shaped by mountains, rivers, and varying altitudes, from the cool slopes of Macedonia in the north to the sunlit plains of the Peloponnese. Key areas like Naoussa, Nemea, and Amyndeon are known for structured reds from Xinomavro and Agiorgitiko, while higher-altitude zones produce crisp, aromatic whites from Roditis, Malagousia, and Assyrtiko. Soils range from limestone and marl to clay and schist, and elevation plays a crucial role in moderating the heat, allowing for balance and freshness across styles. This varied landscape has helped reestablish the mainland as the backbone of Greece’s modern wine revival.
