Tetramythos Winery was founded in 2004 by brothers Aristos and Stathis. Panagiotis Papagiannopoulos has been at the helm of the business since the beginning, working as an oenologist. Together, they are dedicated to creating exceptional wines, primarily from local grape varieties. The excellent microclimate of the Aigialia mountain contributes to this. Panagiotis embodies the soul of Greek viticulture, combining tradition and innovation. After studying oenology in Athens in the 1990s, he first worked as a consultant before establishing himself as a winemaker at the estate. He adopts a natural approach to both soil cultivation and winemaking, resulting in authentic, pure, typical wines deeply rooted in their terroir. He undoubtedly represents one of the finest expressions of the wine-growing Peloponnese.
750 mlThis wine is made from a very rare (so rare they may be the only ones growing it now) Greek red grape variety called Mavro Kalavrytino. The vineyard is cultivated organically, and all harvests are manual. The absence of sulphites and other chemical additives, as well as the use of indigenous yeasts during vinification, demonstrates the philosophy of the estate. The wine will then be aged for 1 year in large tuns. The result is a perfectly balanced red wine, in a pure and digestible version, focused on the expression of the terroir. It reveals aromas of morello cherry, raspberry, plum, red flowers, pomegranate, redcurrants and eucalyptus. The palate is airy and juicy, with fine and delicate tannins. The finish is fresh and salivating. This natural wine minus some of the heavy funk found in some.
