Greek Wine 1

A mixed six-pack introducing modern Greek wine. Greece is one of the world's best sources of interesting wine at more than fair prices. 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
• Lyrarakis 2019 Assyrtiko Voila
• Tetramythos 2019 Retsina Amphore Naturε
• Seméli 2019 Feast Red
• Thymiopoulos 2018 Xinomavro Jeunes Vignes
• Diamantis 2018 Moschomavro

Feast White is a bargain made with the Moschofilero grape. A floral, crisp, dry wine with real character and class. Lyrarakis make amazing wines on Crete with native varieites. Their Assyrtiko is one of the best examples outside Santorini of Greece's best white grape. Tetramythos' Retsina 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. The red version of Feast is just as good as the white, this time coming from the Agioritiko variety. It is full of crunch and brisk red fruit flavours. Thymiopoulos' Jeunes Vignes red, made with Xinomavro, one of our most popular wines and our first choice for introducing anyone new to the wonders of Greece. Diamantis' Moshcomavro is a rare example of an almost extinct Macedonian grape variety and a lovely floral, light, juicy red.
