Manchester Wine School host their first ever Greek masterclass in March. The modernisation of Greece’s wine industry over the last 25 years has been nothing short of revolutionary. Early stages may have focussed on seeing how classic French grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah performed under the dazzling sunlight, but the emphasis now is on the native grapes – after all, they’re the ones that have thrived here for centuries.
Like all classes at Manchester Wine School, the average price for the eight wines guests can try tops the £25 mark. Guests will be trying (dry) whites made from Savatiano, Malagousia and Assyrtiko, and reds from Limniona, Mouhtaro, Xinomavro and Agiorgitiko, and finish on a sumptuous aged Muscat.
