THE WINE COLLECTION
It is a singular combination of historical evidence and great adaptability that led us plant those indigenous varieties thriving in Cyclades Islands since antiquity. These local ‘treasures’ manage to withstand the extreme, sometimes hostile weather conditions, the poor soils and drought of Tinos Island, crafting excellent wines where our light human touch is in great harmony with pure nature. Our flagship grapes are Assyrtiko, the ‘king’ of Aegean Sea, a noble variety of crystal-clear character, purity and mineral notes reminiscent of wet stones and iodine.
Assyrtiko produces world-class wines with amazing levels of freshness, natural strength and prolonged ageing potential, placing the grape variety in par with the greatest Rieslings and Burgundies. And then it is Mavrotragano, a red grape rare as a unicorn and precious as a ‘diamond’. Demanding and challenging in the vineyard, it finds its perfect home in our vineyards producing wines of power and elegance.
