The wine of Assos across from Lesbos.

Our mid-elevation vineyards create a perfect balance between warm days and cool nights. This natural rhythm allows the grapes to absorb the sun throughout the day, while the cooler evenings help preserve their freshness and vitality.

The volcanic soils give our wines a distinct mineral backbone, adding length and structure while supporting the ripe grapes’ expressive fruit character. Finally, the signature “garrigue” notes of our wines emerge on the finish.

These complex flavors evoke the scents of dry herbs and aromatic shrubs typical of Mediterranean vegetation, released into the air as the soil cools at sunset.

The small scale of our vineyard allows us to care for each vine with the attention and precision of a garden. For example, our Grenache vines trained in the gobelet style are cultivated differently from those grown on stakes.

We apply the same level of specificity to our Syrah and Cabernet Franc vines. This individualized approach enables us to respect the unique needs of each variety, something that conventional vineyard management rarely allows.

After growing exceptional grapes, our mission is to approach them with respectful winemaking techniques—ensuring the wine becomes a bottled expression of the vineyard itself, rather than an overworked product.

Our purpose-built gravity-flow winery avoids harsh pumping of liquids, preventing unwanted oxidation that could permanently alter the wine’s character. We employ gentle, temperature-controlled cold fermentations, allowing native yeasts-guided by the air of Assos-to work naturally.

Most of our wines are aged for extended periods in terracotta or clay amphorae, which provide slow micro-oxygenation and preserve purity and balance.
