Vertical Tasting at Ktima Panagopoulos

Nestled in the heart of the Mantinia plateau, our family winery tells a story of passion, heritage, and innovation. It all began in the early 1990s when Thodoris and Themi, a devoted couple, started cultivating the exquisite Moschofilero grape in the sun-drenched hills of Gortsouli. Over the years, their dedication and love for the land laid the foundation for something truly special.

By 2017, the next generation—Marilena and Dimitris—brought new energy and vision to the winery. Marilena, a Chemical Engineer and Viticulture expert, and Dimitris, a talented Food Technician, transformed the estate into a boutique winery, blending time-honored tradition with modern expertise. Together, they crafted ANTINOE, a signature wine that captures the essence of Mantinia’s queen grape, the Moschofilero.

Our vineyard sits at an elevation of 650 meters, just steps from the ancient walls of Mantinia, where the unique loamy soils bring out the aromatic brilliance of the Moschofilero grape. After three decades of nurturing our vines, we proudly produce wines that are a true reflection of our family’s deep connection to the land.

Each bottle tells the story of our history, our terroir, and our unwavering dedication to the art of winemaking. Experience the heart and soul of Mantinia in every sip.
