interesting...I was aware they had a little Syrah in Greece, but have never seen any here in the US to try. And not aware they had any Roussanne
there.
Tom, actually...the Syrah and the Roussanne are from Crete...all the others are mainland, I'm pretty sure. Nostos wines actually started their vineyard with native Rhone varietals, and although they've branched out to try some Chardonnay and local varieties, Rhone grapes make up the bulk of their production. The owner of the vineyard, Ted Manousakis, is actually from the States, and moved back to his childhood home of Crete several years ago to begin this vineyard (I believe he's got some other ventures here, too, but not wine). Anyway, I think they do a great job with it...here's the link to their website, if you look at their team you can see they've got some decent consultants working with them.
