Peloponnese is the land where vineyards have been abundant since antiquity and that’s why in mythology it was the realm of Dionysus, the God of wine. So, it is only natural that vine cultivation and wine making from excellent quality grape varieties flourished throughout the region. Valuable historical information on the Greek wine culture passed on from ancient times pays tribute to Peloponnese by giving it two beautiful appellations: “Ambeloessa” and “Polystafylos”, literally meaning full of vineyards and rich in grapes. Renowned worldwide and praised in the writings of great writers and historians, Peloponnesian wines are produced from top quality grapes grown with care by committed wine specialists.
