The Wine Art Estate vineyards at Mikrochori overlook Mount Pangaion, in antiquity home of the cult of Dionysus and the Orphic mysteries.
The vineyards were planted on carefully chosen south-facing slopes, well protected against late frosts. The soil is mainly sandy-clay, suitable for the cultivation of the Greek and foreign varieties planted and ideal for the development of their characteristics.
The French grape varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, the Italian varieties Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, the Portuguese variety Touriga Nacional and the indigenous varieties Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko, Lemiona are carefully tended, to ensure top quality fruit. Wine Art Estate has currently 16 hectares of vineyards. Another 10 hectares are being planted since the beginning of 2009, at K.Vrisi, a location known since ancient times for the cultivation of the vine and the production of wines, as indicated by the ruins of a Sanctuary of Dionysus. The elegant modern winery of Wine Art Estate is located on the outskirts of the village of Mikrochori. The first section of the establishment was built in 1998 and in 2007 an adjacent building was built on the other side of the road.
The construction work was completed in 2008 and the winery is now housed in a complex of two handsome buildings, while the two "towers" that mark the edge of both buildings prove architectural aesthetics and harmony. The two sections of the winery are connected by an underground tunnel, which houses the cellars. With a covered area of 3000 m², both on the ground and underground, it has a production capacity of 300.000 bottles.
