A few words about Greek wine…
Greece is the land of sun and sea but also of Dionysus, god of wine. It is an original grape growing and wine producing country.
The land where wine cultivation, first came on its own in ancient times. The Greek wines, famous throughout the ancient world were mentioned and praised by Homer, Pafsanias, Thucydides and many other great men.
As early as the second millennium BC wine was an important daily fare for ancient Greeks. Having a high alcohol content and intense taste, Ancient Greek wines were diluted with water before drinking.
Wishing to bring you closer to Greek tradition and culture, we would like to propose a unique taste collection. Quality wines from the vineyards of Greece and Cyprus made with traditional varieties of grape which encompass the sun and oil of Greece and love and knowledge of its winemakers.
In our country taste is a tradition whose roots are lost in the dawn of history.
