Moved by respect and love for nature, they made the decision to cultivate the new vines with biological means, as they continue to this day, with standards certified by BIO Hellas.

They gradually built and equipped a small area for the vinification, storage and aging of the wines, next to the vineyard, so that the raw material could reach the wine production area immediately and without hassle.
The second generation of winemakers. Beyond the technical and material background, of course a properly qualified and informed human resource is also necessary.
The three children of the family decided, therefore, to follow the path and tradition of their ancestors, while bringing new knowledge and specialized information to the winery, with the aim of upgrading the production and management of the estate's products.
So Manolis, the eldest son, chose to study Chemistry at the University of Heraklion and is currently finishing his studies, while at the same time making sure to actively participate in the family's winery. He has also worked at times in other wineries, so that he is constantly enriching his knowledge about winemaking and quality control of the final product.
Giorgos, studies at the Agricultural Department in Heraklion and has inherited his grandfathers love for the vine, so you will often find him next to his father planting new vines or tending and pruning the older ones.
Katerina, the youngest member of the family, studies at the Technical University of Crete in the Department of Production and Management Engineering, wanting to be useful in the promotion of the final product as well as in the upgrading of the production process. She also makes sure to enrich her knowledge on wine tasting and currently holds the WSET level 1 certification.
