Description

Located in the heart of P.D.O. Peza, Crete’s primary wine region, DIGENAKIS winery is a mere 20 km from Heraklion and 10 km from the famed Knossos Palace. Blessed with an ideal climate and nutrient-rich soil, we meticulously cultivate grape varieties in mountainous terrains, focusing on quality over quantity. Blending local and international grapes results in exceptional wines, aged in oak barrels to embody our commitment to superior winemaking.
