Amyndeon Wine
Amyndeon is a wine region in north west Greece in the province of Macedonia. Ambitious wine growers and winemakers have flocked to the region in recent years. The main city is Aghios Panteleimon on the shore of Lake Vegoritis. It is mostly flat land, sandy soil with a subsoil of limestone. It is surrounded by Kaimaktsalan and Vitsi mountains, in addition to several lakes. This creates the micorclimates ideal for grape growing. It is a high altitude area, and the coolest climate for grape growing in Greece. Notable producers are Alpha Wine Estate, Kir-Yianni, Amyntaion Cooperative, and some others.

This is rather candied on the nose with aromas of red licorice, necco wafers and tootsie rollls layered over and obscuring the more fruity aromas.
