Vineyard Xinomavro from mountain vineyards Amynteo, while the Merlot and Syrah from select vineyards in the Prefecture of Florina. The vineyards are growing zone Amyndeo, at 600 -700 meters The area is ideal for producing wines with great finesse and rich aroma thanks to the poor and sandy soils, but also the microclimate with cold winters and hot summers, which is softened by the four lakes that surround it. Human intervention in the vineyard level focuses on two areas: the increase, where necessary, the useful leaf area through new and Supporting small and frequent watering in the maturation phase, when required or time, to avoid water stress. O target is the blend of varieties, in addition to strong expression of typical fragrance, to have a complete phenolic orimansi.

The fermentation temperature is 20-22 ° C. The quality of phenolic ripening of raw materials, especially of pips, that determines the duration of grape marc with (the more immature the shorter the stay).
