HELLINIKA KRASIA

Greek wine is so unique, given there are more than 300 indigenous grape varieties grown there, some of which have been cultivated since ancient times. many well-known international grape varieties are also used in greek wine making. wine has been an important part of the greek culture for over 4000 years as the numerous archaeological discoveries throughout greece indicate.

the son of zeus and semele, dionysus was one of the most worshipped greek gods, inspiring artists, philosophers, poets, historians and the lives of everyday people. wine in greece has never been just a product, it’s a cultural asset. a necessary ingredient on the daily table and a fundamental part of everyday life. wine has a central role in family events, celebrations, and even in many greek religious events.

when you select a greek wine, the product has rare values, excellent quality, intense personality and character, which shoulders the burden of the history and culture of the land where it was produced, the people who cultivated it, and also the traditions of greece, the country in which the art and culture of wine was born.

in recent years, the greek wine industry has undergone enormous improvement with serious investments in modern wine making technology. the new generation of native winemakers are being trained in the best wine schools around the world and their efforts are paying off, as greek wines continues to receive the highest awards in international competitions as well as the recognition they deserve throughout the world.

and it’s greek wine that gets me going ... from thrace to kefalonia and from amyndaio to crete, greek wine is an endless journey
