The Estate’s vineyards located at “Paleos Ampelos” in PGI Tyrnavos wine region tο the foothills of Tripimeno Hills. “Paleos Ampelos” which means “Old Vine”, states the specific location that historically has been a place for quality viticulture. The name also identifies to us a range of estate wines that “travel” to Greece and to the world, carrying the Tyrnavos terroir. Grape varieties cultivated are the French: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Along with these international varieties the Black Muscat of Tyrnavos and the ancient grape Limniona grow on this hilly land.
All these top quality wines produced under the mild continental meso-climate of the region. In summer, cool breezes comes from the Olympus mountain range in the north, while the Ossa Mountain blocks the strong Meltemi wind to the east. Finally just to the east of the vineyards, the Tripimeno Hills create a microclimate of hot days and very cool nights by reducing the afternoon sun, along with the soil that offer good drainage from lime and marl.
For many centuries in Greece the viniculture was based on traditional techniques which evolved slowly and passed empirically from generation to generation.
The systematic study of terroir, that is, the sense of place created by the interaction of soils, climate, and topography began in the last four decades.
Since 1997, we try to determine the best way to grow incredible grapes in order to take advantage of the specific terroir of our area, resulting in continuous refinement of our vineyard, as our knowledge and experience increases.
"Our philosophy is about allowing each varietal to shine!"
– Dimitris Migas
