Santorini’s Unique Wine Heritage
Santorini’s vineyards are among the oldest in Europe, with a winemaking tradition spanning more than 3,000 years. Thanks to the island’s volcanic soil and dry climate, the vines remain ungrafted and free from phylloxera, preserving ancient grape genetics found nowhere else.
The famous kouloura vine-training method, where vines are woven into basket shapes close to the ground, protects grapes from strong winds and sun exposure. This unique approach results in low yields but extraordinary flavor concentration—one of the reasons Santorini wines are so highly regarded.
