The Full Greek
The New Wines of Greece initiative visited Australia in June. It’s the 3rd year they’ve run a series of masterclasses, tastings and events for the wine trade.

Vibrant retsina (yes, it’s delicious), citrus fresh assyrtiko and blue fruited xinomavro are just some of the wines on show.
