Hetero Wines, created by Maria Tamiolaki and Dimitris Mansolas, describes its effort as ‘Gypsy Winemaking’, ie it produces wines in different regions of Greece that have been selected for their uniqueness and wine value. Here we have an amazing Assyrtiko from vineyards that are organically grown in Domokos, which ferments with the native yeasts, remains for 5 months with its fine lees as 50% of the wine enters oak barrels of second use. It very nicely combines the austerity of the variety with its friendliest characteristics when grown outside Santorini.

Dimitris Mansolas and Maria Tamiolaki, two excellent winemakers, created Hetero Wines in 2018 with the aim of producing ‘diverse’ wines from various regions of Greece. Here we have a rare combination of two great indigenous varieties, grown in the plain of Domokos and kneaded with native yeasts. The tannic character of Xinomavro is tamed with just 8% Assyrtiko, with the acidity of both varieties being at high levels, while at the same time the wine impresses with the intensity and freshness of the fruit.

The Greek best-seller pulled too. Cool and pleasant white drunk fanatically in homes and restaurants. An elegant presence at the table.

The varelato Thrapsathiri the varietal of wine is yellow pear aromas of green apple, orange, with hints of vanilla and distinct aromas of barrel. Cool and crisp flavor, excellent acidity and a spicy and fruity aftertaste, is wine that can accompany a wide range of dishes.

Vidiano is considered to be the next big thing in the Greek market. This indigenous Cretan variety bears a Marsanne/Roussanne-like character, reminiscent of apricots, pears, vanilla notes with an oily-soft texture.

At the Navitas winery, from the very first steps, they have managed to create a wonderful Malagouzia that takes the variety to another level. A wine with a refreshing but at the same time elegant aroma, with a pronounced acidity that refreshes and with a very nice harmonious aftertaste. If you are one of those who do not see Malagouzia with a good eye, this fresh effort will make you reconsider!

Named after the daughter of producer Alexandra Manousakis, and invites us to open it up to accompany everyday kreatofagikous appetizers with friends.

A promising Assyrtiko from Pieria that highlights the ‘friendly’ side of the variety, from a brand new winery that is expected to occupy us a lot in the future. Pleasant and elegant aromas, liveliness and nerve in a refreshing wine that will accompany wonderfully anything that comes out of the sea and more. It is a certified vegan wine.

A Single vineyard Chardonnay from the brand new Navitas winery of Maria Dimitriadis, located in Litochoro overlooking the 52 peaks of Olympus. A wonderful expression of the variety with crunchy acidity and intense character of citrus that brings to mind great wines from the cold Chablis. It is a certified vegan wine.
