The Voyatzi Estate is nestled in the foothills of the Pieria Mountains near Lake Polyfytos in Velvento, Western Macedonia. In the early 1990s, Yannis, an oenologist trained in Bordeaux, his engineer brother Nico, and their father Harissis established the modern 12-ha vineyard. At 340 metres altitude by the lake, it benefits from a unique microclimate that moderates temperature and humidity, ideal for cultivating local Greek grape varietals. The family have adhered to organic principles from the outset and focuses on producing high-quality wines with distinct character. They primarily grow Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, and Tsapournakos (a Cabernet Franc clone) alongside other local varietals, showcasing the richness of Greek viticulture. This is something a little different for fans of Provencal style rose, but with a herbaceous and spicy finish. It’s a blend of Xinomavro and Moschomavro. It’s a real foodie wine so try this with Greek salad or seafood.
