Panagiotis Papagiannopoulos

When you visit the northern Peloponnese you will be immediately taken with the wild mountain vineyards and the bright mineral wines. Panagiotis works with native varietals, from high altitude sites cooled by the sea breezes from the Gulf of Corinth. Antiphon is made from Mavrodaphne, Agiorgitiko, Mavro Kalavrytino in a low-intervention style which allows the pure, juicy red fruit to shine through. Grapes for this blend come from three different north facing, high altitude sites in nearby villages: the Mavrodaphne at 915 metres, the Agiorgitiko at 715 metres, and the Mavro Kalavrytino at 840 metres. Soils in all the vineyards are rocky clay, the Mavro Kalavrytino are bush vines the other varietals are Guyot pruned.
