Babatzim Tsipouro with Anise 700ml

Babatzim traces back to 1875, when the Babatzimopoulos brothers founded a distillery in Constantinople, drawing on a family raki-making tradition from Silivria, near the city. The 1922 population exchange forced the family to Greece, where they resettled among fellow refugees from Eastern Rumelia and rebuilt the business at Anchialos, near Thessaloniki. In 1971, Anestis Babatzimopoulos — grandson of the founders — planted the family's first experimental vineyard on the slopes of Mount Vertiskos, later converting the estate to organic farming and adding a second winery within the vineyard itself, near Lagadas. Four generations on, the family still distils tsipouro and ouzo from its own Macedonian grapes alongside a range of regional wines.
