Grecian Purveyor offers a range of Greek wines and liqueurs for every connoisseur:

• Red wines — Greek red wines enchant the palate with notes of dark cherries and wild forest fruits, delivering a velvety texture and a refined, buttery finish. They beautifully complement BBQ meats, mature cheeses, chargrilled dishes, and pasta bathed in rich, tomato-based sauces.
• White wines — Assyrtiko white Greek wines offer crisp, refreshing flavours and vibrant aromas. The standout Assyrtiko from Santorini boasts mineral-rich notes, bright citrus and balanced acidity, pairing perfectly with seafood, grilled vegetables or light Mediterranean dishes. Bring a touch of elegance and authenticity to any occasion with Greek wines.
• Mastiha — Mastiha is a sweet Greek liqueur derived from the sap or resin of mastic trees which is unique to the island of Chios. Traditionally served chilled or over ice, Mastiha pairs perfectly with savoury platters or cold desserts. It also shines in modern cocktails when mixed with gin, vermouth and bitters.
• Ouzo — Ouzo is Greece’s iconic anise-flavoured spirit made from grape must and known for its black licorice flavour. Depending on the distillery’s recipe, it may also include spices like cardamom, cinnamon, clove, coriander, fennel, mint and mastic. Traditionally enjoyed neat or mixed with a splash of water, ouzo transforms into a cloudy, flavourful drink.
• Metaxa — Metaxa is crafted from local Savatiano, Sultana and Black Corinth grapes, double-distilled to perfection. The spirit is enriched with aged Muscat wines from Samos, blended with a secret mix of botanicals, and aged with care in handcrafted oak barrels. Metaxa offers a range of expressions, including 3-star, 5-star, 7-star, and 12-star varieties, as well as the Private Reserve — the pinnacle of Metaxa’s artistry, representing the ultimate in ageing perfection.
• Cretan tsipouro — Tsipouro is a distilled spirit crafted from grape pomace—the skins, pulp, and seeds left behind after winemaking. Some recipes enhance its flavour with additions like cinnamon, mint, ginger, angelica root, clove, and citrus peels.
