The cultivated and exploited vineyards show great variability in terms of location and soil types. More specifically, there are vineyards throughout the region of Achaia, ranging from coastal areas at nearly sea level with sandy soils, up to 800 meters above sea level in clay-loam soils. The collaborating vine-growers, with whom we have shared a common path for 25 years, are valuable allies in our efforts, as we monitor the cultivation and source the raw materials exclusively from them. Across the entire Peloponnese, collaborating vineyard plots cover our needs and include varieties that thrive in other terroirs. The careful monitoring, different ripening and harvest dates—owing to the breadth of our vineyards—result in the harvest starting in early August and concluding in mid to late October.

The vineyard is located just before the entrance of the castle and extends along the slope where vines were first planted in 1861. Replanting has taken place since then, with the most recent planting occurring in the 1970s. Thus, the vines are around 50 years old, and time has worked in favor of quality, as the fruit shows great concentration of all desirable characteristics. The exceptionally low yields do not exceed 2500 kg per hectare. The soils are sandy-clay with good drainage capacity, and the vineyard, planted at the foot of the hill, has the ideal exposure for optimal ripening of the grapes.

More specifically, the hill protects the vines from warm air masses, maintaining lower average temperatures during the hot months. At the same time, the cool breezes from the sea, combined with the vegetation from the centuries-old trees surrounding the vineyard and the nearby small Filiouras River, create an ideal microclimate that supports the gentle ripening of the fruit, preserving the desired organoleptic characteristics.
