This is what good wine from the Chidiriotiko grape tastes like

Chidiriotiko is a rare Greek blue wine grape. It grows on the island of Lesbos. It produces fairly light red wines with notes of ripe plum and berry fruit and can be quite tannic.

After the phylloxera epidemic at the end of the 19th century, Chidiriotiko was almost extinct. Currently, 60 hectares of vineyards have been replanted. A Chidiriotiko wine is therefore a rarity, especially outside Greece. Chidiriotiko originated in the village of Chidira on Lesbos. Even in ancient times, it was said to be one of Greece's most important wine grapes.
