Modern Greeks

A mixed six-pack introducing the best of modern Greek wine. Greece is one of the world's best sources of interesting wine from overlooked regions and grape varieties. This selection covers some of the most intriguing styles. This case contains three whites, and three reds. One bottle each of:

• Seméli 2019 Feast White
• Tetramythos 2020 Retsina Amphore Naturε
• Argyros 2018 Cuvée Monsignori
• Thymiopoulos 2019 Xinomavro Jeunes Vignes
• Dalamara 2018 Naoussa
• Tetramythos 2017 Phellóe Nature

Feast White is a bargain made with the Moschofilero grape. A floral, crisp, dry wine with real character and class. Tetramythos' Retsina Nature is an illustration of how subtle and delicious this traditional style can be, and how different from the industrially-made examples you more usually find. Argyros are one of the best producers on Santorini, the 'Grand Cru' of Greek white. Their Monsignori is from exceptionally old Assyrtiko vines and is truly world class. Thymiopoulos' Jeunes Vignes red, made with Xinomavro, is one of our most popular wines and our first choice for introducing anyone new to the wonders of Greece. Dalamara's Naoussa is Barolo-like in its depth and complexity, from old vines in the heart of Naoussa. Tetramythos' Phellóe is an extraordinary blend of three varieites from a tiny, very old vineyard near Patras.
