Our Vineyards
Along with his studies in Oenology, Vassilis chooses as a vineyard for the first cultivation, a slope of a few acres in Loukissa in the south of Ilia in Peloponnese. A piece of land that remained uncultivated for many years.
More plantings followed always with the use of local varieties, mostly Avgoustiatis and in smaller quantities Mavrodaphne, Fileri, Refosco, and a local Mavrouda.
Soil enrichment is done with green manure (vetch, clover, and other legumes), seaweed collected from the local beaches and compost. Disease prevention is achieved by regular spraying with herbs.
Grape Varieties
Each grape variety has its own voice, shaped by the soil, the climate, and the rhythm of the vineyard.
We select varieties that express character, balance, and a true connection to the Greek land.
Winemaking process
Sorting in the field is of particular importance, as it gives us clean and high quality raw material. The grapes are transported to the vinification area and crushed immediately in order to avoid the start of fermentation.
Then, the juice is transferred by gravity, avoiding the use of pumps, to Cretan handmade jars of about 250-300 liters capacity, where it remains with the grapes for about 1 month and is then sealed with natural beeswax and kept until it is ready for bottling. Bottling and labelling is done manually – another reason for discussion and social contact!
Consistent with the philosophy of avoiding any mechanical-chemical interference, we do not use filters, machines, pumps, chemicals, yeasts, and sulfites. Not following specific recipes, each harvest is different and production is limited.rite one or two paragraphs describing your product or services. To be successful your content needs to be useful to your readers.
Start with the customer – find out what they want and give it to them.
" The wine that has emerged effortlessly from a spontaneous fermentation, naturally and not artificially or intrusively, makes us maintain our balance, coming as close to nature as we can. "
