I S T O R Y
It
was Christmas Eve 1983, when Konstantinos Antonopoulos decided
to create his own vineyard. "Responsibilities are born in dreams"
he believed. "In the beginning, all things are in your mind and
that is where they begin to take shape". In 1988, when the company
ANTONOPOULOS VINEYARDS was founded, his vision begins to take
form.
Konstantinos
Antonopoulos, a creative man by nature, was a connoisseur. He
had his own ideas about wine, based on his love for the field.
He believed that to create a wine, there are three stages. The
first is the vineyard itself and its choice, since this stage
culminates in the planting of the vines; the vines follow the
path you design for them, he believed. The second stage begins
with the grape harvest, when you come face to face with your own
self and with what you have invested in the vineyard; if you have
not been "honest", this is what you will reap, and the wine will
be a sad disappointment. The third stage, which is closely related
to and depended on the other two, is how people feel about your
work.
The
man is no longer among us, but his vision and his philosophy live
on and inspire the work of the present owners of the company,
Yiannis and Nikos Halikias.
The
modern wine-making facilities of the company are located 10 km
from the city of Patras and provided with a wine cellar holding
300 oak barrels where the white and red wines mature. The company's
vineyards cover an area of 11 hectares, whereas another 15 hectares
are associated vineyards in the regions of Achaia, Nemea and the
highlands of Mantinia.
