Mylonas Savatiano

Brothers Stamatis and Antonios Mylonas oversee this third-generation (founded 1917) self-described ‘micro-winery’, a boutique domaine of twelve hectares situated in the red clay-limestone of Keratea, Attica. This region has been the historical engine for bulk retsina production, and the dominant variety, Savatiano (Greece’s most planted by hectarage) has consequently suffered a poor reputation, but the Mylonas brothers’ beautiful old bushvines yield wines of true concentration, character, finesse, and pedigree. Old bush vines and limestone soils in Attica give a unique expression of Savatiano that opens with a fragrance of lemon blossom, basil, and flint. The palate delivers fleshy stone fruit, along with mineral notes and refreshing acidity.
