Antonopoulos Vineyards
Antonopoulos Vineyards was
founded by the late, Konstantinos
Antonopoulos and his vision lives
on and provides inspiration for
owner, Yiannis Halikias, who con-
tinues the tradition of producing
innovative wines. The vineyards,
located just south of Patras on the
slopes of the Achaia Mountains,
consist of unique indigenous
varieties and well adapted French
grapes which combine to pro-
duce wines that continue to
receive the international
recognition and acclaim
they deserve.
Mercouri Estate
In the western
Peloponnese,
near ancient
Olympia is
the family
owned
Mer-
couri
Es-
tate with 150 years of history in
the production of wine, currants
and olive oil. Vassilis and
Christos Kanellakopoulos,
fourth generation of the
Mercouri family, have
revived the winemaking
tradition of this
historic
prop-
erty
with
the
produc-
tion of
distinctively
branded
products.
Oenoforos
On the beautiful
slopes of Aegio, we
find the Oenoforos
winery built on five levels,
utilizing gravity in order
to provide a
natural
flow
for
the must. The site
was chosen by the
Bordeaux trained win-
emaker Angelos Rouvalis
after extensive research
of the surrounding area
and neighboring vineyards.
Rouvalis and his partner Yian-
nis Karabatsos have had a very
positive influence on the develop-
ment of the wine growing region
of Aegialia.
Palivos Estate
Located in Ancient Nemea, just
steps from the temple of Zeus is
the Palivos Estate. George Palivos,
a third generation winemaker, has
carefully selected his vineyards
in the heart of Nemea for the
production of high quality wines
made from local and international
grapes.
