Winery | This wine is a blend of two Indigenous varieties: Limnio (pronounced LIM-need), which produces full-bodied wines with relatively high alcohol content and a distinctive herbal character of bay leaves, and Moschomavro (Mosho-MAV- ROH), which produces fresh wines, with noticeable acidity, soft tannins and aromas redolent of ripe red fruit, grapes and cloves. The vineyard is located in Drama, where the microclimate has been considered the perfect spot for grape cultivation since ancient times. Situated at 200 to 300 metres above sea level, the vines are cultivated traditionally and planted in linear rows. The soil has a high clay content, which retains moisture during the warm, dry summers to nourish the vines. Stavros Manolesakis and his father, George Manolesakis, started creating their vineyards in 1989, planting Greek varieties alongside international varieties. Embracing the philosophies of culture, love, and a passion for winemaking prompted them to establish their own wine company, Manolesakis Estate, in 1999. Keen to experiment and break winemaking boundaries, they have equipped the winery with the latest technological machinery to produce the best results. |
