MICHLAKIS ESTATE

On the slopes of the valley where the history of wine spans centuries, in an altitude of 450 meters lies a unified hilly area of 450 stremmata (decares) that used to be a terroir (group of vineyards) from Megalo Metoxi of the St. George Epanosifi Monastery.

Here, in one end of the valley where the wine-press of Vathypetro stands untouched by time since 2500 BC while nature takes care of our vineyards in the other end.
