South Aegean

The South Aegean encompasses key wine areas in the Cyclades and Dodecanese, shaped by the dry, windy island environment. The climate is warm Mediterranean with strong maritime influence, while poor, often volcanic soils contribute to wines of pronounced minerality and concentration. The region includes major zones such as PDO Santorini, PDO Paros, and PDO Rhodes, along with PGI Cyclades and PGI Dodecanese, capturing the character of the island vineyard.
