This retsina offers aromas of peach, mango, and lemon mastic along, white flowers and herbs on the nose. It nicely complements all seafood with its balanced acidity and long fruity after taste.
The history of Mylonas winery starts almost a century ago, back in 1917 in the region of Keratea in Eastern Attica, with our grandfather Antonis, whose main occupation was the vine and winemaking. He left the grape must to ferment in amphorae, since stainless steel tanks were unknown at that time.
Later the small business passed to his son, Dimitris, who continued the wine tradition of his father, expanding the enterprise with purchase of new vineyards creating at the same time a small, modern winery. Beside their father, three sons, Antonis, Tasos and Stamatis playing with soil and grapes as little children, growing up observing the soil, weather and wind learning how to talk with the vine, digging and pruning it so much that in the end it became part of themselves. It was only natural to turn the vine and the wine into their profession, Stamatis and Antonis studying chemists–oenologists and Tasos economics to run their small business.
Practically, the history of Mylonas brothers begins in 2000 when, after the loss of their father, they took over the responsibility to follow the steps and evolve what he made, even go a step further, as he did when the winery passed from his father.
