Winery | The grapes come from a hillside vineyard 800 metres north of the winery, which is protected from the northerly winds. The eight-year-old vines have been orientated to maximise exposure to the sun. Trained using a unique bilateral cordon system developed by their father, the vines are low to the ground, protecting them from the very windy conditions of the Cyclades region. The vineyard is characterised by its terraces, which make it difficult to use machinery, therefore cultivation is by hand. The soil in the vineyards is rocky schist, imparting distinctive mineral flavours to the wine; it is also high in clay content, which retains moisture and nourishes the vines through the hot, dry summer. Rainfall is scarce on Ios, with only double the rainfall of the Sahara desert, and as a result, yields are low, and the resulting wines are rich in flavour. Following a philosophy of natural viticulture, chemical pesticides and fertilisers are not used in the vineyards. The practices are close to organic, with a copper-sulphur solution spraying as a preventative measure following rain. Manual harvesting takes place during the cooler hours from dawn until 10 am. |
