Tinaktorogos 2024 from Ktima Brintziki is a truly unique white wine — quite literally, as it’s not cultivated anywhere else in the world except at Ktima Brintziki. This rare white grape variety produces a wine with sweet fruit aromas and a rich texture, perfect for relaxed gatherings with cheese boards and good company.
In 2012, Ktima Brintziki became the first “green” winery in Greece, harnessing geothermal energy and solar panels to meet its energy needs, producing wines with virtually zero carbon footprint. The estate is a family-run winery, founded in 1994 in the village of Lantzoi, just a few kilometres from ancient Olympia. With deep respect for tradition and the environment, the estate cultivates both Greek and international grape varieties using organic methods, on soils rich and favoured by the region’s unique microclimate.
Tinaktorogos has been cultivated exclusively by Brintziki Estate for the past 23 years, in an area with a long-standing viticultural heritage. Its name comes from a remarkable natural phenomenon: during flowering, the vine sheds a large number of blossoms, performing a kind of natural “green harvest” — a trait that inspired the name Tinaktorogos. It’s an ancient, indigenous grape variety, so old it’s even mentioned in Homeric epics. Tinaktorogos from Ktima Brintziki is made using classic white vinification in stainless steel tanks, with a brief pre-fermentation maceration to preserve all the delicate characteristics of the variety.
