Domaine Papagiannakos, Markopoulo/Attica, Greece
It was at the beginning of the last century — 1919, that the first generation Papagiannakos field the very first barrel. And from that moment through loving care and with the inherited wisdom of ancient wine-making traditions, the Papagiannakos family rapidly gains respect and renown for the fine quality of wine they produce.
Ever since the 1960s, the new Papagiannakos generation, in accordance with tradition and with the adoption of more modern wine producing methods, redefines the wine making process bringing it to the third millennium.

Native and foreign grape varieties co-exist in this vineyard, the largest in Greece today, with white varieties, Savatiano, Malagouzia and Roditis prevailing.
