Giannikos Winery - Quinta da Romaneira
Quinta da Romaneira is a spacious 400 acre Single Estate port houses in the Alto Douro, near idyllic Pinhâo, world-famous for its beautiful UNESCO World Heritage awarded views and terraced vineyards. Quinta da Romaneira has always kept its business operations in-house. And that is not surprising, since the vineyards are located on the very best terroirs. The ports of Romaneira can compete with the best in the region.
Besides being one of the most beautiful wine regions in Europe, the Douro is one of the oldest wine regions with an official designation of origin. The history of Romaneira goes back to 1757, when vines were already planted on the domain. Romaneira's port wines first appear in the books around 1843 and in 1972 the 1861 and 1863 vintages are auctioned for the first time by the London auction house Christie's.
With a history of more than 260 years, Romaneira has managed to establish itself as a Single Estate between the major trading houses. The current winemaker is António Agrellos, who initially gained his experience in Bordeaux and has been named the best winemaker in Portugal in the category of 'fortified wines' several times.
The list of awards is absolutely incredible.

Giannikos Winery bezit 8 ha wijnstokken op twee locaties, één in Korinthe rond de wijnmakerij en de andere in Mycene, nabij de beroemde archeologische vindplaats en geboorteplaats van de Griekse wijnbouw bijna 4000 jaar geleden. Beide wijngaarden worden strikt biologisch geteeld omdat men ervan overtuigd is dat alleen natuurlijk geteelde wijnstokken gezonde druiven kunnen produceren die de basis vormen van hun kwaliteitswijnen. Een ander belangrijk aspect is de invloed van de zee op het microklimaat. De verkoelende winden zorgen samen met de mediterrane zon en de bodem voor de beste omstandigheden en zijn de redenen dat Giannikos Winery internationaal inmiddels al zeer gewild en bekend is maar gezien de kleine productie.
Griekenland heeft een rijk erfgoed van inheemse druivensoorten en bij Giannikos Winery heeft men als filosofie om de traditie en nieuwe technologie te verenigen. Daarom teelt men biologisch en oogsten en snoeien men zorgvuldig met de hand. In de wijnmakerij gebruiken ze moderne stalen tanks, ultramoderne machines en Franse eiken vaten van geselecteerde fabrikanten.
