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.

Fully dedicated with love and respect for the vine, Irene Daskalakis gives a great red from Syrah and Kotsifali. Instinct as all of Daskalakis wines is produced based on the principles of biodynamic farming and is its flagship. Dense, with concentrated fruit flavors, warm alcohol and length in the mouth, a wine which manages to impress.
