Mylonas Savatiano 2023
Mylonas Savatiano is a bright straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. Its rich taste and moderate acidity provide flavour, balance and a long finish, while the medium aromas of stone fruits, white flowers and unique herbal notes such as rosemary and sage predominate.
The story of the Mylonas Winery started in 1917 in the region of Keratea in Eastern Attica with the grandfather of the present owners. Antonis Mylonas left the grape must to ferment in amphorae, since stainless steel tanks were unknown at that time. The small business passed to his son Dimitris, who continued the wine tradition, expanding the enterprise with the purchase of new vineyards and creation of a small, modern winery. Upon his death in 2000, his three sons took over the responsibility and created a brand new, small, modern winery, making their first official presence in the Greek market in 2006. Their aim is to create high-quality wines that express the grape variety and terroir.

Mylonas Winery was started in 1917 in Keratea, eastern Attica, by grandfather Antonis, whose main occupation was the vine and winemaking. As stainless steel tanks were relatively unknown at the time, he would leave the grape must to ferment in amphorae. Years later his son Dimitris took over and continued the wine tradition, but expanded the enterprise with new vineyards, creating a small, modern winery. Eventually his sons took the helm and continue to expand in homage to their father and grandfather. The family own 12 hectares located from 80-200 metres above sea level. 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.
