Viognier 2010, Domaine Gerovassiliou

Even if Viognier might be the sexiest vine variety in the world, it does not attract close attention.

Savatiano 2008, Domaine Papagiannakos

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.

Mavrotragano 2015, Domaine Sigalas

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.

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.
