Today, his son, Vagelis is leading the winery into the fifth generation.Winemaking on Santorini has been continuous for at least 3500 years, given archeological evidences, and are considered the oldest vineyards of Europe. The island has 30 extant indigenous varietals that have persisted because Santorini was never affected by Phylloxera. Currently, 75% of Santorini’s vineyards are planted with its highly prized Assyrtiko and some of the root stock is assumed to be 400-500 years old, possibly making these the world’s oldest vines.
