Appellation in the district of Karditsa in the region of Thessaly(Greece), named after the municipality of the same name. The vineyards cover around 100 hectares of vines at an altitude of 250 to 750 metres above sea level on the north-eastern shore of the man-made Lake Plastiras. However, the wine may also be produced outside the zone as long as the vineyards are located in the district. The POP red wine is blended from the indigenous Mavro Messenikola variety (approx. 70%), as well as Carignan Noir (Mazuelo) and Syrah (together max. 30%). It is vinified dry.

I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
