Protopapas
Protopapas produces wines from Macedonia, Greece's northern region known for continental climate and mineral-driven whites. The winery's portfolio centers on Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, both crisp expressions of the terroir, alongside Syrah—a red that captures the region's capacity for structured, age-worthy wines. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated the Chardonnay at 85 points, with the Sauvignon Blanc at 83.5 and Syrah at 82.5. The whites show the precision and acidity characteristic of Macedonia's cooler elevations, while the Syrah reflects the darker fruit and spice typical of the variety in continental conditions. These are straightforward, food-friendly wines rooted in regional character rather than extraction or oak.
