Estate Argyros is one of Greece’s most historic and renowned wineries, with roots dating back to 1903. Located in Episkopi Gonia, it is renowned for its dedication to traditional cultivation of Assyrtiko and other indigenous varieties, across one of the island’s largest privately owned vineyards. The winery combines tradition with modern technology to produce exceptional wines, including its celebrated Vinsanto. Today, the family tradition is carried on by Matthew Argyros, with the same passion and dedication to wine and the land.

Cuvee Gerontampelo Santorini is a highly limited-production white wine that captures the authentic soul of Santorini. Its name comes from the local dialect and means “old vine”—and for good reason. The grapes come from ancient vineyards more than 150 years old, located in Pyrgos, Megalochori, and Episkopi. The wine undergoes extended ageing on its lees and maturation in French oak barrels of various sizes, adding layers of complexity, depth, and texture.
