I t’s hard to think of parts of Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean as “emerging” wine regions, particularly when places like Greece, Anatolia (modern day Turkey), and the Levant (the area currently occupied by Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel/Palestine with the addition of Cyprus) have been making some form of wine for over 7,000 years. But in terms of the new global wine market, they are still in their infancy. Each region plots its own course in this brave new world, with some countries relentlessly championing their native grapes like Greece, forgoing “familiar” varieties for Malagouzia, Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, and Moschofilero. Other regions, like those in the Bekka Valley of Lebanon or just across the border in Israel’s Golan Heights, embrace the new but go with classic French varietals like Cinsault, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. Others still, like Bulgaria, find success in growing local varietals like Evmolpia, Gamza, and Mavrud alongside old standards like Cab Franc, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Where these philosophies come together is in technique, with younger generations of winemakers building upon the classics and refining them with modern techniques to craft high-quality wines, offering exciting new options for enthusiasts. We’re loving what we’ve seen recently from these storied regions! Other Wine Regions
