Dimitris Skouras of Skouras Winery on the Greek Wine Revival

Dimitris Skouras of Skouras Winery talks with Grape Collective about winemaking in the Peloponnese.

Skouras' vineyards are primarily situated in Nemea, one of Greece’s most renowned wine regions, and focus on both indigenous and international grape varieties. Skouras has been instrumental in promoting the indigenous Agiorgitiko grape, which is used in many of their celebrated red wines. Agiorgitiko, which translates to “Saint George” produces wines that range from fresh and fruity to deep, complex reds. Skouras’ interpretation of this grape has earned widespread acclaim for its balance of fruitiness and structure. Skouras Winery also produces standout wines from Moschofilero, a white grape known for its aromatic qualities and crisp acidity, native to the Mantinia region of Peloponnese. The estate’s commitment to quality extends from vineyard management to winemaking. They use sustainable practices in the vineyards and combine traditional methods with modern technology in the cellar.
