Greece has been making wine for thousands of years, and after a long, quiet stretch, the country is finally getting the modern recognition its native grapes deserve. The terrain ranges from windswept islands to high mainland slopes, with volcanic soils on Santorini and continental conditions up north in Macedonia. Assyrtiko makes taut, saline whites that can age beautifully, while Xinomavro produces structured, Nebbiolo-like reds in Naoussa that wine geeks have started to obsess over. For anyone hunting distinctive, age-worthy wines off the beaten path, Greece is one to explore.
