Recently, we had the pleasure of participating as keynote speakers at the 5th Kefalonia Wine Hub, organized by the Kefalonia Winemakers Association. The conference was dedicated to Robola, exploring the present and future of the variety through its sensory, winemaking, and viticultural dimensions.

Usually, when we talk about blends, we focus on the final result, the “magic” of composition, balance, and ultimately the wine in the glass. But before getting there, there is another side of the work, the one that rarely gets seen.

This time of year, Sotiria and Maria are constantly on the move across Greece — from Xanthi to Naxos, Evia, Andros, Attica, Pelion, Fthiotida, and Syros — following the vineyard during one of its most critical stages of the growing season.

The 2025 harvest in Argentina started earlier than usual. Discover how climate conditions, yields, and grape varieties are shaping this year’s vintage.

It’s not just pruning. It’s a way of thinking.

When history is born in the soil.. We are transported to Nemea. There, a rare vineyard over 110 years old was discovered, hosting ungrafted Agiorgitiko vines planted above ancient archaeological remains.

From the emblematic Château de Chambord 🇫🇷, the @francsdepied Association, of which we are proud founding members, announces the creation of certification for wines produced from ungrafted vines.

Three years ago, among the hills of Porto Rafti, we discovered something rare: Mrs. Chasioti’s vineyard, passed down through generations and preserved on its own roots. Perhaps the only vineyard in Greece with ungrafted Savatiano. The moment we found it, we felt deeply moved, as if we had touched a living piece of history.

In the latest episode of the “Wine, simply put” series by LiFO, the hosts Iro Koliakoudaki DipWSET and Panagiotis Orfanidis welcome back Spyros Zoumpoulis, who shares his impressions from this year’s harvest across Greece and Cyprus – a vintage of outstanding quality, yet challenging for growers.

Every harvest brings its own challenges and its own stories. In Andros, at the Ypsilou vineyard of Kourtesis Winery, this year’s Mavrotragano led us to a double harvest.
