In 1990, Angelos Rouvalis, taking advantage of the slopes of the mountainous Aigialeia, formed a model gravity winery specially designed for the production of quality terroir wines. Here, the slope of the land gives the winemaking route a natural, effortless and calm flow.
The gravity winery, the first Greek winery of its category and one of the few worldwide, is built on a rock in 6 consecutive levels.

What we mean by heroic and organic viticulture
The vineyards are located on extremely steep slopes. This requires greater effort and manual work due to the limited reach with machinery.
Getting to the vineyards can be complicated, requiring special roads and hand picking.
Lower yield of grapes per hectare. Although the grapes are of high quality due to sun exposure and the characteristics of the unique terroir.
Organic fertilizers are used
as compost, manure and
other natural materials to enrich the soil and provide the nutrients necessary for the growth of vines.
Techniques are implemented to prevent soil erosion, such as planting vegetative covers between the rows of vines and applying minimal or no tillage practices.
During the winemaking process, chemical additives are avoided and the handling of the wine is minimized. The use of natural yeasts and the reduction of sulfites are encouraged.
