Had a splendid visit in the Dourakis Vineyard and drank a Kotsifali/Syrah blend there. Interesting stuff. The indigenous population in the more rural areas will all have white grape vines in their garden, but don't make wine out of it. To use it for white wine is supposed to be a "waste of wonderful Raki" (the famous hard liqour made of grapes) Very nice and welcoming folks. So the planted area might very well be much higher than the 7.680 hectars
Yes! There are some interesting explanations and discussions here: tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/2020/06/why-calcareous-soils-matter-for-vineyards-and-wine-grapes.html www.fao.org/soils-portal/soil-management/management-of-some-problem-soils/calcareous-soils/en/ www.apuwinery.com/post/more-about-our-soils

Hey Jimmy,
Can you recommend a resource to read more about how PH value of the soil may change the acidity preferably a bit more technically?
