Gaia

Producer description of "Gaia Wines S.A." Wine offers for "Gaia" in find+buy

The Greek winery was founded by agronomist Leon Karatsolas and the famous Greek winemaker Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. The name ("Mother Earth") was given after the Greek goddess of fertility and progenitor of all generations of gods. The philosophy is to focus exclusively on Greek varieties and to fully utilise their potential. Before they set up their own winery, they analysed which regions and indigenous grape varieties had the most potential. They decided in favour of the island of Santorini (Assyrthiko) and Nemea (Agiorgitiko) in the Peloponnese. In 1994, the OPAP white wine of the same name was produced on Santorini under the Thalassitis label in collaboration with a winery.

In 1997, the company built its own winery in the Nemea sub-region of Koutsi and began producing wine on seven hectares of vineyards there as well. Grapes are now also bought in from contract winegrowers. The OPAP red wine of the same name (from Agiorgitiko) is produced there under the Gaia Estate label. Red and white table wines are produced under the Notios label. A very light-coloured table wine rosé with the name 14-18h is made from Agiorgitiko; the name is derived from the short maceration time. A Retsina is also marketed under the name Ritinitis Nobilis. A total of around 30,000 cases of wine (360,000 bottles) are produced each year.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
