Zoumiatiko
Introduction
Zoumiatiko is a historic and highly productive white variety from Northern Greece, primarily found in the regions of Thrace and Macedonia. Although often encountered in blends, its role is crucial for the structure and freshness of the region's wines. High Productivity: It is a variety that yields abundant harvests, which is why it is particularly favored by viticulturists. Neutral Character: It does not possess aggressive aromas, making it an ideal 'canvas' for blends with more aromatic varieties (such as Malagousia or Muscat). Freshness: It maintains good acidity that offers vibrancy to the final result.
Tasting Notes

Gastronomy
Zoumiatiko is a wine that loves simple, everyday cuisine: Appetizers: Fried zucchini, feta with oil and oregano, olives. Seafood: Small fish (smelt, anchovy) and seafood appetizers. Poultry: Lemon chicken or grilled.
Terroir
Terroir: Lowland and semi-mountainous soils, often more fertile than other varieties. Climate: Transitional from Mediterranean to continental, with cold winters that 'rest' the vine. Result: High production and neutral, clean taste.
