WINERY MIGAS - MIGAS DIMITRIOS

Dimitris Migas was born in Tirnavos, a town situated in a rural area on the feet of Mount Olympus and which belongs to the prefecture of Larissa, part of the Thessaly region of Greece. His familial vineyard is extended to more than 120 acres in the location of “Paleos Ampelos”, near to Tirnavos, where he runs one of the most contemporary and impressive wineries of Greece.

Domaine's vineyards are located in the place named “Paleos Ampelos”, near to the city of Tirnavos. The Greek place name “Paleos Ampelos” (Old Vineyard in English) states that this area has all along been, historically, an area for viniculture. The cultivated grape varieties are the French ones Chardon- nay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and the Greek ones Muscat of Tirnavos, Bantiki and Malagouzia as well. The mild mainland climate and the good ground drainage of the area result greatly in the top quality of the estate’s wines.

There are two main factors that contribute in wine ageing, the storage conditions and the quality of used oak barrels. In the fully air-conditioned underground cellar of the winery our wine are aged all through the year in French oak barrels (225 lt) at ideal and optimum conditions. It is worth noting that in the same space an open pit in the floor leads to an underground tunnel, with a length greater than 500 meters, which reaches the shore of Titarisios river, bringing moisture, so the ageing of wines happens in perfectly natural conditions.

The winery's machinery, of the latest available winemaking technology, consisting of special refrigerators, cold soak systems, stainless steel vinification tanks and much more, is used in order to protect the organoleptic characteristics of the grapes during the vinification and give aroma, strength and long aftertaste to the produced wines.
