Απο το Greece is Changing

The outlier among our favorites was our No. 3 bottle, the 2008 Biblia Chora Estate, from the Kavala region of Macedonia. It was made roughly half of cabernet sauvignon and half of merlot. Indeed, while Greece has hundreds of indigenous grapes, it also has a few international varieties. This wine was beautifully executed, with spicy fruit, herbal and mineral flavors. While I may prefer wines made of the less familiar grapes, it’s hard to argue with the quality of this bottle.
Part of what made the Biblia Chora interesting was its fine structure, a result of vineyards planted at a high enough elevation to offset the heat of the Mediterranean climate. In northern Greece, elevation does seem to be a crucial factor in determining the character of wines.
