Grapes & Wine.
At Paliomylos we see viticulture and wine making as an art. With over 1000 vines we are provided with a large canvas; We consider ourselves great artists.
Located 20 - 55 meters above sea level and 300 meters from coast, the location of Paliomylos provides an environment for high quality grapes that lead to a unique wine.
With long warm summers and cool winters, grapes in Paliomylos ripen easily that lead to lower acidity and higher sugar levels. Higher sugar levels allow for greater percentage of alcohol, which makes the wine more full-bodied.
With a naturally dry climate and an advanced irrigation system, we have full control on how much water is exposed to each vine. Although we prefer keeping most vines fairly dry, this allows for a balanced vineyard and control of our wine from the beginning.
Northern and eastern winds provide clean air to the vines and play an essential role to the characteristics of the grapes. Winds from the north are referred to as “meltemi” and occur from 7am to 3pm. Winds from the east are known as “boucadoura” and occur from 3pm to 6pm. Just before the grapes are fully ripe, the winds help cool and slow down the process. This allows for more developed flavors.
We take great pride in our process and environment, and hope you can taste it at your table.
