Vriniotis
Vriniotis operates in Grevena, a mountainous corner of Macedonia in northern Greece where altitude and continental climate shape distinctive white wines. The winery focuses on indigenous Greek varieties, notably Assyrtiko and Vradiano—grapes that thrive in the region's cool conditions and mineral soils. Assyrtiko Sur Lie, their flagship white, demonstrates the variety's signature tension between salinity and citrus, aged on its lees to add textural depth. G Plus, built from Vradiano, showcases the local cultivar's character in a secondary offering. Wine Advocate has assessed both wines. The winery's commitment to regional expression through native varieties positions it within Greece's broader movement toward terroir-driven, food-friendly whites from lesser-known northern appellations.
