The domaine

What happens when an entire family is passionate for nature? They abandon city life and move to countryside. This is the story of Kioutsoukis family (Dimitrios, Eleftheria and their children). Dimitrios Kioutsoukis, a chemical engineer, took the UC Davis Oenology Extention program and with his family assistance planted 11 hectars of vines (mainly Greek grape varieties: Assyrtiko, Malagousia, Roditis, Xinomavro) in northern Greece near Thessaloniki, an area well known from ancient times for its wines. Dedicated to ecology we use exclusively organic methods and principles of biodynamic farming, at low yields, producing organic wines only. The basic rule for us is doing as few treatments as possible trying not to subvert the natural equilibrium. Using modern wine-making equipment, only to monitor and support (if necessary) the natural chemistry of the wine-making cycle we produce wines with a unique character that express the terroir without lowering the quality standards. Seeking the real taste of life we are taking a step forward producing three natural wines: a white, a red and the only low- intervention Orange Retsina wine in the world (Retsina: Greek wine of traditional appellation with over 3500 years of history, produced by using pine resin during fermentation)
