Manolesakis estate
Vineyard
The wider region of Adriani is morphologically very homogenous. The exposure of the vineyard is northwest and the climate is semi-continental i.e. it is between the Mediterranean and the continental climate. Winters are characteristically cold, while summers are warm and sun-drenched. Winter rainfall replenishes the soil’s moisture reserves, providing the vines with the water essential for healthy growth and balanced development. During the summer months, the marked contrast between day and night temperatures encourages a slower, more gradual ripening of the grapes, allowing them to develop greater aromatic complexity and finesse.
Viticulture is carried out with the personal care of Stavros Manolesakis and the advice of the partner agronomist of the estate, who carry out continuous experiments with Greek and foreign varieties with the aim of establishing their adaptation to the region as well as their wine potential.
