Markou
Markou operates in Attiki, the heart of Continental Greece, where Mediterranean and continental climates converge. The winery focuses on indigenous Greek varieties, anchoring its portfolio in Savatiano—a white grape native to the region that yields wines of mineral precision and structure. Kleftes Savatiano, the winery's leading expression, demonstrates the variety's capacity for complexity and depth. The range extends to Emeis Red, a blend of Agiorgitiko and Mandilaria that reflects the darker, more structured side of Greek viticulture. Both Wine Advocate and Decanter have assessed the winery's output, validating its technical approach to these lesser-known but historically significant varieties. Markou's work sits within the broader context of Attiki's resurgence as a serious wine region, where producers are reclaiming indigenous grapes and proving their contemporary relevance.
