Two local winemakers, Manolis Vavoulas and Nikos Gryllis, put Lipsi on the wine map of Greece when in 2013 they joined forces and created the Lipsi winery with the aim of producing wines that match and highlight their place. Here we have a white wine from three predominantly Aegean varieties, the red Fokiano (followed by white vinification) and the white Assyrtiko and Athiri, which stands out both for its charming fruity profile and its cool and delicious taste.

Fokiano is one of the oldest varieties found mainly in the Dodecanese and the islands of the northern Aegean. Here we have a rosy expression of this red variety from Lipsi, which have entered the wine map in recent years thanks to the efforts of the only winery on the island, the Lipsi winery. If you are looking for something truly sought after and unique then this is definitely an ideal choice.

Two friends, Manolis Vavoulas and Nikos Gryllis, create the Lipson winery in order to revive the local red variety Fokiano, which is famous for its ability to produce extremely sweet wines. This sweet wine is produced ‘as before’ by sun-drying the overripe grapes with the wine then maturing in oak barrels for at least two years acquiring a complex character. Great dessert wine with very good value for money.
