Let me introduce myself...
Asyrtiko and Chardonnay in a white “hug” of finesse and cosmopolitan freshness.
Fresh spirit, intense and aroma of peach and apricot.
My freshness to you... Polite and balanced, a white diamond!
I make company with “today” and appreciate “now”.
Of the awarded family Sokos that for more of a half century, creates the best “mood”.

Agiorgitiko and Cabernet in a wonderful duet.
I grew up in enviable vineyards on the slopes of Kitheronas.
Matured 16 months in French oak barrels and one year in the cellar of the award winning winery Sokos.
Each of my sip is rich, with perfect sculpted tannins, bowing to the rich smoky flavor of sundried tomato.
I love to gratify restless palates!
