Rhodes
Rhodes, situated in the southeast Aegean practically in the shadow of Asia Minor, is one of Greece's most auspicious wine regions. Its climate is highly favorable to viticulture: rain is plentiful during its short winter, and absent during the entire growing season. Consistent cooling winds mitigate soil temperature during the worst heat of the summer. It has also entirely escaped Phylloxera. Common vine varieties are: Athiri, Mandilaria and Moschato Aspro.
