Even if Viognier might be the sexiest vine variety in the world, it does not attract close attention. Also, it is the only French grape that still the best wines come from its place of origin, Northern Rhone, and it is not easy to find alternatives from the new world like every other international grape.

I still remember how the WSET educator described Viognier: “is the most sexy grape variety in the world”. And that’s it! With a small phrase, you have all the information you need. Soft and tasty in the mouth, the charming aromatic character will never disappoint you.

That wine was the least impressive of the three, not because it is a bad wine but because the other two were remarkably good. However, the ageing potential is clear.

We are always like to scout for the next big thing, the next wine variety, the next wine region, the producer who will intrigue us with distinctive wines. Well, I am sure nobody will have seen that coming when Savatiano and Attica will reach the whole of fame.

Vassilis Papagiannakos's contribution to the transformation of Savvatianos's notoriety and one of the most historic wine-producing regions in the world is admirable. However, if Vassilis did not make this effort, no one could have predicted what Savatiano would be like today.

Trilogia was the first red Greek wine that managed to spread its reputation abroad and, specifically in the German market, charming many wine critics, sommeliers and consumers with its high quality.

Cuvée Nykteri is the third in line wine of the Cuvée series of the Estate Argyros. Through this series, the Estate tries to point out a more concentrated and bold style Assyrtiko worth a certain ageing period before reaching its top.

Paris Sigalas was the first in Santorini who made an effort to vinify Mavrotragano separately and save the variety from obscurity. Since then, all the island's winemakers have added a Mavrotragano in their portfolio, but Mavrotragano Sigalas remains a reference point.

Ramnista is the vineyard's name where the grapes were collected to make this distinctive wine that tries to point out the elegant side of Xinomavro.

Paris Sigalas is an artisan winemaker. Each wine he crafts express Santirini's terroir and even micro-terroir perfectly. As a result, his wines are the most age-worthy on the island, and each one and all of them offers a unique wine experience.

Ten vintages of Montepulciano, in a single 750ml bottle, blended and released as one. A huge, big and bold wine in everything.

The new trends push the winemakers to produce wines with less oak, soft tannins and emphasising on fruit. But we must not stop appreciating some old school wines with distinctive character and high quality.

As in Retsina, Verdea refers to a type of wine and not the grape variety. It is produced in Zakynthos island, and the blend is mainly of the local varieties Skiadopoulos, Pavlos, Goustolidi and Avgoustiatis.

Not many Greek wines are privileged to belong to the pantheon of desirable worldwide wines with collectable value.

It is a well made red wine from the island of Santorini, which has aged beautifully and delivers the volcanic terroir excellently.

Tignanello is an iconic wine, and not by luck. It is one of the wines that influenced Italian wine history and helped the Chianti region overcome the quality problems, bad reputation, and undervalued prices.

In order to achieve the highest possible quality and to make the distinction, the team of Pieria Eratini winery revived a Byzantine method for sweet wines.

It is a fantastic retsina, rich, complex and delicate.

I think Riesling is the only white variety globally that, even in the low price category, there are so many high-quality wines.

Sometimes it is worth waiting since the aged wines can acquire another class. Supreme!
