    One of the most well-known exporters of sultanas at the beginning of the century that has just gone by was Nikos Athanassiadis. Even though his entrepreneural activities were manifold, wine growing was his favourite, perhaps because of a large sultanina-growing estate, which he was running in Iraklio, Crete. In 1932, however, he decided to establish a new wine-growing estate in the vicinity of Athens. The attention of Nikos Athanassiadis is attracted by the northern slopes of Penteli, which is an area that has been known as a wine-growing region since ancient times, when vines, a gift from Dionysos to King Ikarios, were first grown in Greece. There, in Stamata, Nikos Athanassiadis purchases a large piece of land where he plants vines. A few years later he undertakes the construction of the production plant. Being endowed with the spirit of a pioneer, he bottles his produce and sells it in Athens.
    Towards the end of the fifties, Nikos Athanassiadis's daughter Ada takes over the family business. With the help of her husband Diogenis Harlaftis she gives a new impulse, beginning with the re-cultivation of the vineyard and planting choice new varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Asyrtiko. The growth of these varieties on the northern slopes of Mount Penteli in the region of Stamata is excellent. The morphology and composition of the ground have created ideal conditions for the production of high qualitiy wines. The dry calcareous subsoil of the vineyard is covered by a layer of clay, a combination which favours proper drainage and the rewarming of the ground to the great benefit of the vines.
    HARLAFTIS ESTATE is a model wine growing enterprise, where all the different stages of production have been combined in one establishment. As soon as the grapes have been harvested, they are immediately taken to the wine press, which is located on the estate. There, thanks to the modern technical equipment, we employ the latest methods of wine making. The storage and maturation of the wine takes place in underground vaults with stable temperature, where the tanks and the French oak barrels are located. The activities of the estate are expanding and consolidating. Thus, as time goes by, the winery is recognized and established as a pioneer in the production of high quality wines. 
    It is a result of these endeavours that HARLAFTIS ESTATE today is one of the most respected wine-growing enterprises in Greece. In the course of time, the grandchildren of Nikos Athanassiadis, Emilia and Nikos Harlaftis take over the firm. It is their aim to continue the tradition and to develop it further. The family character of the enterprise remains unchanged, and today, with new inspiration, the vineyard continues its successful course producing exquisite qualities of wines of high specification.
