The wines of Mylonas
Savatiano specialists
from Attica, Greece
Based in Keratea in Eastern Attica, the Mylonas vineyard is in the hands
of the third generation, the Mylonas brothers, who took over things
in 2000. They began making wines under their own name in 2006. It's
the highest-altitude vineyard in the Mesogaia region, nestled in the
foothills of Mount Panion at 200-350 m, and benefitting from a sea
breeze. Soils are sandy clay over limestone, and in some parts
shale. The 12 hectares of vines yield less than a ton a hectare, and
80% is planted to the Savatiano variety.
