A. Megapanos Winery is a modern wine production and bottling facility based in Pikermi, near the Athens Airport with the aim of producing excellent quality wines from grapes grown locally but also in other famous winemaking regions of Greece. What makes Greek wine so unique are the more than 300 indigenous grape varieties grown there, some of which have been cultivated since ancient times. Many of the world’s best wine critics agree that the distinct flavours that come from these native grape varieties are a strong marketing advantage for the Greek wine industry. Several well-known international grape varieties are also used in Greek wine making. This extensive variety of grapes together with the moderate Greek climate, plentiful sunshine, low average rainfall and soils of moderate fertility combine to provide an excellent environment for the production of high quality wines.
