Why do we love it?

Julia Drouva is the definition of the future of Greek wine. Very young, talented, she now takes over the reins of the family winery. What's changing? Experimentation, again experimentation, and new techniques. The first results are here and they show the way. The new Finikas Red Oak by Drouva Winery is a really good start.

Mavroudi (70%) and Agiorgitiko (30%) of the privately-owned vineyards of the family in Agios Georgios Pyrgos Ilias were hand-picked at the right time. Even for the pressure of the grapes, any mechanical intervention was minimal. The precious juice remained in French oak barrels for about 10 months. The result is seductive and spicy and surely sets the bar high for the next steps of the winery.

Julia is the new generation of Greek wine and if she continues so, her future looks brilliant. Do not listen to us. The Finikas Red Oak by Drouva Winery is the ultimate proof.

Just don’t miss the chance to try now, the wine that everyone will talk about tomorrow.
