Ganis Wineyards

At the mesoclimateof Domokos, below the mountainous slopes of Kassidiaris, in the region of Vardali, at around 1920, begins the relationship between theGanisfamily and wine, when Kostas Ganis plants the first small-sized goblet-trained vineyard with local varieties. From that time and until 1940, he manages to make his wine known in all the surrounding regions. Later on, in 1967,Konstantinos takes over, and plantsa small vineyard 1-hectare at an altitude of 160m, with local varieties. In early 2004, Vaios, representing the fourth generation of the family, following his own research and in collaboration with the agronomist-viticulturistD.Tsoupeis, extirpates the old vineyard and replacesit with a new cordon-trained one, planting it with foreign and Greek noble varieties. At the same time, he proceeds with new plantings covering an area of 2.3 hectares, at a 160m altitude, using new cultivating methods, and achieving the optimum adaptationof the varieties to the mesoclimate of the region. All these interventions were made based on strict technical and scientific criteria, after having acquired full knowledge of the terroir, the "vine-country" in its Greek translation, and of the estates, in order to arrive at the best possible wine production. The vineyards of Gaea Ganis are under organic management and are certified by DIO.
