The viticultural zone of the PGI Thessaloniki extends from 50 metres above sea level, with vineyards along the shores of the Thermaic Gulf, up to 800 metres on the slopes of Mount Vertiskos.
In the coastal areas, soils are generally sandy with a small proportion of clay-loam and are well-drained.
In the mountainous areas, soils are clay-loamy, and vineyards have been established mainly on soils with a balanced composition of sand, silt, and clay, ideal for restricted vine vigour.
The climate of the region is the typical Mediterranean climate, but also incorporates characteristics of a continental climate, with a mean annual temperature of 16°C and mean annual rainfall of 442.1 mm.
