Founded in 1917 by Stamatis Mylonas's grandfather, the winery is located in the village of Keratea, Attica. The soils are mainly limestone and schist with some gravel sites, too. Surrounded by the sea, Attica’s winters and cool summers provide ideal conditions for viticulture. Mylonas have become synonymous with the Savatiano variety, for which they have won many awards.
Savatiano is the most productive grape variety in Greece and the wine of Athens. Historically used for retsina, this unresinated version has a lovely bouquet, slightly herbal, white peach and nice clean intensity. Flavours are quite like top notch Gavi di Gavi. Crisp apple and aromatic ripe lemons. delicious as a session white, or with a wide array of meze.
Mylonas Winery is dedicated to showcasing the high-quality potential of the Savatiano grape, which has historically been relegated to making cheaper wines like Retsina.
By focusing on and respecting the grape, the winery aims to change its poor reputation and highlight its ability to produce complex and refined wines.
