Each bottle bearing the “Mikro Klima” label tells the story of small-scale producers who invest in detail and quality.

With deep respect for tradition and a careful selection of distinguished varieties—Xinomavro, Assyrtiko, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Grenache Rouge—Mikro Klima offers authentic flavors that capture the spirit and soul of the region.

"Mikro Klima" is an award-winning wine — the result of nature, combined with our passion for producing wines of the highest quality.

High Quality in Limited Production

RED WINE

Red Wine Production and the Role of Grape Skins

Red wine is made from dark-skinned grape varieties, and the process involves extracting color and flavor compounds directly from the grape skins. Although the juice of most red or purple grapes is actually white-green in color, the pigments responsible for the wine’s red hue are found in the grape skins. These pigments are released into the juice during fermentation, giving the wine its characteristic color.

The color of red wine can range from deep violet in young wines, to ruby red in more mature ones, and eventually to brick or brownish hues in older wines.

While most red wines acquire their color solely from skin contact, there are rare exceptions. One of the most notable is the Teinturier grape variety, which has red-colored flesh and produces naturally red juice, unlike most red grapes.

WHITE WINE

White Wine and How It’s Made

White wine can display a range of colors, from pale yellow to greenish-yellow or golden hues. It is typically produced by fermenting the pulp of grapes that lack pigmentation. The grapes used in white wine production are usually green or yellow in color.

Several grape varieties are widely known for white wine production, such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. Some white wines are blends of different varietals—examples include Tokay, Sherry, and Sauternes.

Interestingly, dark-skinned grapes can also be used to make white wine, provided that the winemaker carefully avoids letting the grape skins impart color to the juice during fermentation. A well-known example is Pinot Noir, which is commonly used in the production of Champagne.

Rosé Wine

Rosé Wine: A Balance of Elegance and Character

Rosé wine combines the elegance of white wine with the intensity of red, offering a unique palette of flavors and aromas. Its distinctive pink hue is achieved through brief skin contact with dark-skinned grapes—lasting from just a few hours to several days—depending on the desired depth of color and flavor.

Common grape varieties used in rosé production include Grenache, Syrah, and Pinot Noir, which contribute fruity aromas and delicate notes. The result is a light, refreshing, and pleasantly aromatic wine, perfect for warm-weather occasions and pairing with light meals.

Mount Kithairon

Mount Kithairon: Myth, Worship, and the Birthplace of the Vine

Mount Kithairon was the most significant mythological landmark in the region of Attica and Boeotia, revered in antiquity as a center of worship for Dionysus, the god of wine.

North of Kithairon and west of Mount Parnitha, in the greater area of Erythres and Plataea, lie the hilly landscapes of Attica–Boeotia, where the vine has been cultivated continuously since mythological times. These vineyard lands form the heart of a region where viticulture thrives in harmony with centuries of history, tradition, and terroir.

Wine Appreciation

Wine Appreciation & Vertical Tasting

Wine appreciation can bring every wine enthusiast closer to the world of wine, helping them understand differences, similarities, and fascinating details across vintages.

One of the most rewarding tasting methods is the vertical tasting. This involves tasting wines from the same label or producer, but from three or more different vintages.

The tasting typically begins with the youngest vintage and moves backwards to the oldest. This process allows for the observation of how a wine evolves over time — highlighting changes in flavor, quality, aroma, and color as the wine ages.
