Peloponnese

Nemea

The vineyards in the Nemea region are at least 500 years old. In antiquity, the reputation rested with the nearby valley of Flioun, with the Fliasio wine. In the region of Nemea, the choice red variety Aghiorgitiko is grown, which obviously derives its name from the village Aghios Giorgios.

Mantinia

In the viticultural zone of the region, which covers some 500 hectares at an altitude of 650 metres, the Moschophilero variety is uniquely favoured. The popularity of Mantinia wine is today on the rise. The oldest winery with its own vineyard is that of the Cambas company. Later other wineries were created, those of Nasiakos, Spyropoulos and recently that of Tselepos.

Patras

The province of Achaia has been a traditional producer of wines for centuries. The total of its vineyards covers about 4000 hectares. The region of western Achaia produces Mavrodaphne liqueur wine from the variety of the same name. It should be pointed out that the firm Achaia Claus, with an uninterrupted presence of 140 years in Patras, produces choice aged Mavrodaphne wine: Apart from Mavrodaphne, two other wines are marketed: Moschato Patras and Moschato Rio. Sideritis, another variety of grapes, is also grown there.
