BOUTIQUE WINERIES

A boutique winery is a small winery, usually producing less than 10,000 cases per year, which, with a strong dedication and emphasis on terroir and great passion and care on the part of small teams, produces quality artisanal wines with selected grapes and generally organically grown.

For our wine list we have selected three great small wineries that have thrilled us with their history and their wines, and which, united by the character of production craftsmanship, are capable of putting authentic and territorial wines into bottles:

Moinoterra_logo

Iliana Malihin, young and talented oenologist from Crete, founder of the winery of the same name in Melambes, who in addition to producing quality wines with native varieties of the island such as Vidiano and Liatiko, has always been committed to safeguarding and promoting the history, character and the terroir of her territory of Rethymno, while enhancing traditions and innovation.

Moinoterra_logo

Nikos Stathoglou is the founder and owner of Moinoterra winery in Archanes, a passionate and innovative winemaker who wants to create wines that express the terroir and history of the Minoan land.

The choice of Archanes is not random, because it is precisely here that the history of Cretan wine began… And it is from the Minoan civilization that the winery is inspired, both in name and symbol, respecting nature and local traditions .

If there is a producer in Greece whose wines can be considered a cult, he is none other than Yiannis Oikonomou.

The fame of his wines from the plateau of Ziros, at the eastern tip of Crete, far exceeds the possibility that someone in Greece can find them to beautify his collection.

His winery produces from 10,000 to 25,000 bottles of wine per year from old vines and organic vineyards. The main varieties are Liatiko (PDO Sitia), Assyrtiko (PGI Crete), Vilana, Thrapsathiri, all aged for many years.

The word “organic” is not on his labels, because the word does not explain the experience and work he continually does on the vineyards.

Among all his wines, Antigone is in a class of its own and shows the way forward in Greek wine.
