founded by george and argyri charalaboglou in 1999, the winery is now run by their three children. their daughter anthi is an agronomist and studied oenology in france, and then staged in new zealand where she met her partner matt. they returned to greece to take the lead of the winery and were joined by anthi's brother, nikos, who manages the vineyards, and her sister, christianna, who is an artist and contributes their beautiful labels. the goal at charalaboglou is to combine tradition with innovation, integrating their organic vineyards into a thriving, diverse ecosystem. the team does things 'the old way:' manual harvests, slow fermentations, and gentle handling. but they're also meticulous and methodical about understanding the science of the liquid: testing the chemistry of each wine, and considering every component. the wines reflect their origin story, teeming with exuberance, brightness, and joy. this blend of indigenous red grapes agiorgitiko and koiniariko is full of juicy red and dark fruit flavors supported by soft, elegant tannins and refreshing acidity.

hailing from some of europe's most southerly vineyards on the isle of crete, the pateromichelakis twins yiannis and manos cultivate their family's ancestral twenty hectares of olive trees and five of grape vines. here, in their hometown of kissamos and the region of chania (the far western side of the island), they enjoy cool breezes off the aegean sea to the north, a shield from hot african winds to the south in the form of the lefka ori mountain range, and rich clay-loam and schist soils. the house specialty is romeiko, crete's most historically significant variety, once responsible for up to 80% of the island's plantings.as is traditional, the brothers pateromichelakis produce both a red and a white romeiko, both nicknamed 'ro'. the red showcases big black cherry fruit, baking spice, and leather notes.
