Greece boasts a wealth of indigenous grapes with tongue-twisting names that are beginning to deliver very good quality on a consistent basis. In the past few years, the progress of the white wines, such as those made from the Assyrtiko or Moschofilero grapes, has outpaced that of the reds. But that may be starting to change.
A majority of the wines in this report are red. They show distinctive flavors and improving quality. The Xinomavro grape reaches its zenith in the Naoussa appellation of northern Greece; I find better versions are reminiscent of Italian reds from the Piedmont region with elegant fruit flavors backed by fresh acidity.
The Agiorgitiko grape finds its home on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, in the Nemea district near Corinth. The best are medium-bodied and quite juicy.

Yes ,this is a wine that I just love.
Domaine Gerovassiliou made a great Chardonnay big up-front flavors hints of ripe pear and butter decadent and smoky on the finish with an aftertaste that gives away the pure identity of a very good Greek Chardonnay.
