Roots of vineyards

Estate Argyros has been established in 1903, but the Argyros family has been involved in wine production for decades before that. Since the beginning, there has been a focus on both wine making and vine growing, through a deep understanding that great grapes are always a prerequisite for great wines. Each generation contributed to the development of Estate Argyros wines on both fronts.

Estate Argyros is the largest private owner of vineyards in Santorini. The current landholdings exceed 120 ha, a vast, four-generations-long investment.

The island sits on an active volcano, with extremely young and infertile soils, with almost zero potassium and almost zero clay.

Estate Argyros works almost exclusively with old vines because only these vineyards can provide the depth, the definition and the concentration needed to produce the desired style of wine.

One of the signs of great quality is the ability to age, to stand the test of time.
