The well-known phrase from the temple of Apollo at Delphi "Meden Agan" means "nothing in exaggeration" and was one of the basic principles of the Ancient Greek Spirit and an inspiration for Antonis Papantonis.
His relationship with the vines begins in 1979 with the acquisition of a vineyard just outside the village Malandreni Argolida. After studying finance and working in important positions in Greece and abroad, he realized the bustling life of Athens and the profession of economist was not for him. In 1992 he decided to change his life and deal with his great love, wine. Along with his sister Kalli, they started Papantonis Winery, and as a genuine follower of specialization, he decided to produce only one red wine, the best he could from Agiorgitiko. And when he says the best, he means it.
The twelve-month stay in first and second use French oak barrels made from wood from the Allier forest, gives Aghiorghitiko the gentle caress of wood it deserves, adding velvety texture and enviable complexity. Do not anticipate explosive aromas, full of surprises palate and dramatic finishes. The perfect balance. Nothing in excess.
