ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Grape
Vostilidi/Goustolidi
Vostilidi or Gustolidi is a UNIQUE ancient Greek variety, which has survived from Homeric times under the name of the divine, to take its present name from time to time, from its vintage in August. Its many exotic tannins for white grapes lead us to the theory that his old ancestor was a red variety or that it is an ancestor of red varieties! Bottled wine has grown generations and generations of producers in Lixouri and the wider Kefalonian land, who drank it at home or in the tavern (and still drink it) oxidized! His mixing – until today – of some with drinking water, restores and answers the question of why the ancients drank their wine well!
Producer
Grampsas
The Grampsas Winery is located in the semi-mountainous village of Lagopodo at the foot of Mount Vrachionas in Zakynthos (Zante), one of the largest Ionian islands across from Kefalonia.Childhood memories of grape harvest scenes smell and meaningful conviviality has led the two brothers, Christos and Tassos, to create a modern winery within the Estate they grew up in 2011. Their aim is to showcase the unexplored wealth of local varieties, such as Goustolidi and Avgoustiatis and to restore the island’s reputation as a place with great vinicultural potential on the wine map of Greece. Loyal to the tradition and keeping up to date with winemaking developments, they aim to offer a unique terroir-focusing experience to wine lovers.
