Kokotos Estate

About

The Kokotos estate dates back to the 1970s when George Kokotos and his family settled in Stamata, abandoning city life to build their home and create a small vineyard in the hills north of Athens. In 1980 they planted a vineyard of seven hectares with international varieties; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. Assyrtiko and Gewurtztraminer have been added since and the range also includes wines from Savatiano, Roditis and Agiorgitiko. Their aim was to produce wine of the highest quality. The decisive factors contributing to their success are the excellent terroir, with soil which is poor in organic matter but rich in trace elements, the altitude of 420 metres and the well-drained slopes of the vineyards. The vineyards are certified organic. The winery is open to visitors by appointment only. The estate also includes: - An Olive Grove - A Permaculture Vegetable Garden - A Poultry Farm - Beehives
