This organic family vineyard and winery lies at the 17th kilometre of the national road Sparta – Gytheio, direction Monemvasia. It was from this region, according to tradition, where the Byzantine emperor and the Court of Constantinople were supplied with wine. The first vines of the vineyard were planted at the beginning of the 20th century, by grandfather Nicolas. Today, with over 30 hectares of privately-owned vineyard, George Theodorakakos continues to cultivate the local wine varieties, Kydonitsa, the Peloponnesian Mavroudi, Monemvasia, Thrapsa and the widely known national grapes Assyrtiko, Rodites and Agiorgitiko. The winery was built in 1988 at the heart of the vineyard, outfitted with the latest equipment to support the production of high-quality wines, under the supervision of George’s enologist son, Nicolaos. Low yields, up to 8t/ha, contribute towards excellent grape quality and the vineyards converted to organic farming in 1996. All the wines produced in the winery use grapes exclusively from the privately-owned vineyard.
