Learn about how one man launched a modern Greek wine revolution while celebrating the country's complicated history with the beverage.
Greece has always had a complex relationship with time. Ancient history and modernity in most places make for uneasy bedfellows. In Greece? They’re inseparable.
“That was the first modern linear vineyard in what we now know as the wine region of Drama,” explains George Zacharis, CEO of the winery,. “We wouldn’t be here right now, the 10 wineries that followed wouldn’t be here now, and we wouldn’t be on our way to receiving PDO status if Costa had not planted that vineyard.”
Lazaridi hired expert agronomists and enologists, including the world-renowned winemaking consultant Michel Rolland, for everything from helping him select auspicious plots for vineyards and deciding which grape varieties would be suitable to plant where to tasting through the wines and finalizing blends before bottling.“Being the first to do something is never easy,” Zacharis says.
“Around 2010, we realized there was a problem, though,” Zacharis acknowledges. “Climate change. The summers were getting consistently warmer, and we weren’t getting the same freshness, complexity and aromatic depth, especially in the whites. So we began looking for vineyards at an even higher elevation.”
