Limnio
Limnio is one of the oldest named grape varieties in Greece, believed by wine historians to be the 'Lemnia' grape described by Aristotle as the source of the famous red wine of ancient Lemnos. Grown today mainly in northern Greece, particularly around Halkidiki and Thrace, it produces moderately coloured, elegant reds with fresh herbal notes, red berry fruit and silky tannins.
Producer
Evanthia Mitropoulou, a capable young winemaker has been working methodically in the last 15 years to establish the more than a 13-hectare large family-owned vineyard and to revive the two local varieties of Serres, Asprouda of Serres and Koniaros. Thanks to her and her father, Nerantzi, the varieties are now part of the national grape archive. Only a stone’s throw away from the recently discovered ancient town of Amphipolis, landmark city of the Macedonian kingdom of Alexander the Great, which flourished in the 4th century BC, the vineyard is cultivated following the principles of organic viticulture and the wines are produced with minimal intervention and under organic certification.
