The grapes come from a range of specially selected vineyards across Northern Greece, particularly from cool-climate regions, where the Mediterranean climate is tempered by strong continental influences. The Xinomavro is sourced from Naousa, Rapsani, and Amyntaio, the Limniona comes from the mountainous area of Thessaly, while the Mavroudi comes from Thrace, near the border with Turkey. The vines are trained using a variety of methods, which have been tailored to suit the variety, and vigor of the vine and the terroir, however, most are Double Cordon, to keep yields low and concentrate the flavors in the fruit. The majority of the vineyards are cultivated following organic principles, although they are not certified, and all grapes are hand-harvested in the cool of the night to retain freshness.
