Porto Carras

Macedonian whites from native Greek grapes, rated by major critics.

Porto Carras is a winery in Chalkidiki, Macedonia, working with the distinctive white varieties of northern Greece. The estate produces Assyrtiko, a mineral-driven expression of the region's signature grape, alongside White Soul from Athiri and Malagouzia—both indigenous varieties that reflect the terroir of the Macedonian peninsula. These wines have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate. The Assyrtiko achieves particular recognition among critics, followed closely by the White Soul and Malagouzia. The winery's focus on native Greek grapes positions it within a broader movement toward regional authenticity in Mediterranean winemaking, where local varieties express the specific conditions of their origin.
