Hatzidakis

Producer description of "Hatzidakis Winery"

The winery is located in the municipality of Pirgos Kalistis on the island of Thira in the Aegean archipelago of Santorini. It was founded in 1996 by Haridimos and Konstantina Hatzidakis. Haridimos Hatzidakis (1964-2017), after studying to become an oenologist, had worked for the well-known Boutari company in Crete and Santorini, where he also met his wife. The vineyards on the volcanic soil had not been used since 1956 and had to be recultivated and replanted in a laborious work. After many years in an improvised cellar, a new underground winery with a naturally cool cellar was moved into in 2016. Hatzidakis is considered one of the most innovative and important winemakers in Greece. Since his tragic suicide in 2017, the winery has been run by his family and staff.
