Who we are
About the farm
We farm at Meleses in the Peza wine zone, right in the centre of Crete: the present estate was created by Giorgos Paterianakis in 1988, and today his daughters Emmanuela (winemaker) and Niki (sales) carry it on. For decades we have cultivated our own roughly 20 hectares of vineyards around the winery, at 400–500 m, organically (certified by DIO) and with biodynamic methods; in 1997 the first organic wine of Crete was made here. From local varieties (Vidiano, Kotsifali, Mandilari, Moschato Spinas, Thrapsathiri) and French varieties we make wines, natural wines without added sulphites and an organic tsikoudia called Paradisos. From April to mid-November we welcome visitors daily for winery tours and tastings, in winter by appointment.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
