Vineyard: Halkidiki

Today, the wines that carry the appellation of PGI Halkidiki may come from the whole peninsula. It is a smaller appellation within the region of Macedonia and itself embodies a few even smaller ones like PGI Mount Athos.

The meridional aspect of the vineyards, the ground relief and the neighboring with the sea, form a typical Mediterranean climate that is characterized by mild winters and cool summers, maintaining a wide range of temperature. The vines are planted on the slopes of continuing small hills and benefit from the clay-sand soil. The coastal vineyards face mild winters and long, hot summers, with high sunlight during the growth and maturation of the vines. Those factors constitute a great base for the grape growing, leading to the total maturation and enhancing the aromas of the wines that are produced, contributing to the balance of the flavour character.

The main characteristics of the conditions met in our privately-owned vineyard are: Location: Agios Pavlos Halkidiki Total area: 14.5 proprietary hectares Vicinity to the sea Climate: Typical Mediterranean Soil: sandy clay
