SIGALAS
WINERY Ltd was founded by Paris Sigalas, Christos Markozanes and Yiannis
Toundas in 1991. The winery is housed in the old wine cellars of the Sigalas
family. Since 1994 the company has been following the programme for organic
cultivation and has co-operated with the quality control institution D.I.O.
10 hectares are cultivated in the traditional manner. At the same time
there is stable co-operation with other producers affiliated to the programme.
It
is the aim of the company to cultivate the entire vineyard of Oia organically.
Organic cultivation is facilitated by the conditions of the ground, which
is volcanic, dry and arid, as well as by the microclimate of the area,
where winters are mild and dry and summers cool.
Cultivated
varieties include Asyrtiko, Athiri, Aidani and Mandilaria. The production
of grapes amounts to 75-150 kilos/acre and the grape harvest takes place
in mid-August. |
