Producer description of "Mylopotamos"

The winery is located in the municipality of Karyes on Mount in the Greek wine growing region of . It is run by monks of the monastery Megisti Lavra. The Byzantine monk Athanassios Athonitis (925/930-1000) chose this place to build one of the first outposts of the monastery, which was completed in 973. Even then, the cultivation of vines and olives took place here. A revival took place in the early 1990s with the planting of new vines. The vineyards cover a little over four hectares of vineyards, planted with the white wine varieties Roditis and Muscat d'Alexandrie, and the red wine varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Limnio and Muscat d'Hamburg. The majority of the vineyards are organically certified. The organic wines are produced as Topikos Oinos (country wines) from the Holy Mountain (Ágion Óros). In addition, an Oinomeli Rosé and the sweet wine are bottled in the conventional way. Annually up to 80.000 bottles of wine are produced, which are also increasingly exported. Distillates like (marc spirit) are also produced.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
