Episode 4: Greek Wines

Author: Seez in Greece February 19, 2021 Duration: 13:32

With a wine history almost as old as the country itself, Greece, naturally, is home to several wineries producing exceptional wines even for the most discerning wine aficionados. Widely regarded as the best wine producing area in Greece, Santorini stands out with wine making practices traced 3,500 year back to before the eruption of the island's legendary volcano.

In the fourth episode of our own Seezcast Series, we meet with Yiannis Karakasis, Master of Wine and wine curator at the iconic Selene Restaurant, one of the most sought-after gastronomic destinations not just in Santorini, but in all of Greece.

From popular wine varieties such as Assyrtiko and Mavrotragano, to wine pairing suggestions and ideal pruning systems, Mr. Karakassis takes on a journey to explore the island's authentic viticulture.
