From 60-year-old pre-phylloxera vines, in the area of Soularoi, Paliki, a dry Mavrodaphne of excellent concentration is produced, placing the variety on the top. The extraction of 30 days without using pumps and the usage of a percentage of beads are responsible for a wine of great complexity in both texture and aromatics, with great aging potential. Bright black fruit framed by herbal hints, with a well-integrated barrel. Thick mouth, with high tensions, without sacrificing elegance. A rare wine of character and personality.

In Thiramona of Cephalonia, Nikos Petrakopoulos continues a family tradition that is rooted back to the Byzantine years and the great families of Melissinos and Solomos.
His goal is to put his own stamp in the cultural promotion of Cephalonia and its vineyard and wine abundance, with the exploitation of the natural abilities of the local varieties. The winery produces high-quality wines, in a limited number of bottles. The plant physiology and the geology of the island create many different micro-climas with endless abilities as a result.
