In Evia, the vineyards reach altitudes of maximum 350 meters. The area is mostly devoted to white grapes. Savatiano is the dominant grape, covering approximately 4/5 of the total area.
In the south part of the island, Greek Aegean sea varieties have been planted. These varieties are used to the winds and the dry and warm climate: Athiri and Mandilaria from Rhodes, Assyrtiko and Aidani from Santorini and the red Liatiko from Crete.
An effort to revive the local red variety Vradiano has begun recently.
