The 2013 Savatiano "Vareli - Skin Contact" is partly oak-fermented and then aged in French oak for four months. It is dry and comes in at 12% alcohol. This was sourced from 60-year-old vines in Attica. The oak is not overly intrusive here, but it gives the wine a lusher feel than the regular bottling, a little more concentration and a certain, sensual texture. Almost as tasty as the regular version reviewed this issue, this ultimately shows beautifully. It should hold nicely for several years, but how long it will be at peak is another question. It is beautiful now.

Country: Greece

It is almost impossible to understate the importance of local and regionally produced wines in Greek culture. Across the country, from the cities of the mainland to the villages, mountainous regions and islands, wine is produced using traditional methods and native grape varietals, and is drank in households and taverns, either accompanying the much loved local cuisine or alone as a refreshment under the blazing Mediterranean sunshine. For wine lovers around the world, Greece is known for producing several wines with something unique and interesting to offer, a refreshing change from the norm filled with surprises and complex, occasionally challenging or unusual flavors and aromas. Thanks to the vast range in terrain across the archipelago, Greek wine is as varied as it is delicious, meaning there is plenty to explore and enjoy from this fascinating and ancient country.
