Brief history of the
Winery
Skouras Winery was established in 1986 in Pyrgela, Argos by Dijon-trained
oenologist George Skouras. In 1988 Skouras launched his pioneering Megas Oenos
label. Pioneering because he was the first winemaker to blend Saint George, a
Greek grape (aka Aghiorghitiko), with Cabernet Sauvignon and with illustrious
results.
In 1996 a small winery was built at Ghymno, one of the villages inside the Nemea
Appellation of Origin zone and in 2004, the Winery started operating from its
splendid facility at Malandreni.
Our winery is just under one and a half hours drive from Athens, strategically
situated off the Athens-Tripoli highway, on the national road leading to Argos.
It is environed by a predominantly eye-soothing green landscape stretching all
the way to |
Mycenae in the north, to the city of Argos in the east and to the
steep mountains in the south and west. The facility encompasses a spacious
visitors wine-tasting, lecture and exhibition hall, with stunning views of the
Argive plane and a magnificent cellar.
It is equipped with the latest in wine-making technology.
Today Skouras Winery is at the forefront
of Greek estates, full of momentum and with a sharp focus on its future. Demand for its terroir-driven and estate-bottled wines is consistent both at
home
and around the world. For what makes these wines so popular is the fact that
Skouras does not compromise quality or craftsmanship. In fact, there is always
something better, something more, with each and every vintage, for each and
every product.
