MACEDONIA
Devided in Administrative Regions. Central, West, East.
The geographical region of Macedonia extends from the Pindos mountain range in the west to the borders with Thrace in the east. In the Macedonian vineyards (Drama, Kavala, Halkidiki, Goumenissa, Naoussa, Amyntaio, etc.) many international varieties are successfully cultivated, producing some of the top Greek wines of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Syrah, as well as important indigenous varieties, with Xinomavro, the most exquisite red variety of Northern Greece, being the dominant one. The vineyards of Macedonia are distributed among other crops, tree or not, mainly in lowlands but also on the slopes of mountainous areas, creating mountainous and semi-mountainous vineyards. They are often located near seas and lakes, taking advantage of the more favorable mesoclimate formed by the water masses. The soils are generally fertile, with good water retention capacity, which enhances the vigor of the vine and necessitates the use of sophisticated formation systems and demanding cultivation techniques. Due to the gentler relief compared to southern Greece and the greater availability of natural resources, Macedonian vineyards are mainly linear and irrigated, with medium to large planting distances (usually under 400 plants per hectare).
