Μαγνησία (Magnisia)

Styles

Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Sandy-clay to clay-loam soils, slightly alkaline pH, good conductivity.
• Vineyards on slopes with a southern (midday) aspect, exposed to both sea and land winds.
• Exposure to the winds minimises the need for external phytosanitary interventions.
• The Pelion peninsula has historically possessed exceptional soil-climatic characteristics and several dozen indigenous varieties.

• Traces of the vine have been identified at the prehistoric settlement of Sesklo; the wines of Peparethos (ancient Skopelos) were renowned.

• Sandy-clay to clay-loam soils with a slightly alkaline pH form the foundation of the terroir of the ΠΓΕ Μαγνησία wines.
