Scan. Sip. Feel the story.

In collaboration with select wineries, we create QR-powered storytelling labels that turn each bottle into an emotional experience.

By scanning the label, wine lovers unlock:

  • Short films featuring Lefki & Achilleas
  • Stories of the grape and its origin
  • Cultural context, music and food pairings
  • Visual and auditory journeys through Greece

We don’t bottle wine. We craft the story behind it — and place it in your hands.

 

Coming soon – stay tuned.

Because the best bottles don’t just taste great.
They speak to you.

🍇 Discover Greek Grape Varieties

📚 Wine Word Origins

🌿 Symposion → From ‘σύν’ (together) + ‘πίνειν’ (to drink)
Not just a drinking party, but a ritualized gathering — the birthplace of philosophical dialogue over shared cups.

🏺 Oinos → From Mycenaean Linear B
The ancient word for wine.

🍇 Ampelos → From ‘ἄμπελος’
The Greek word for vine — source of the term ampelography, the study of grape varieties.

🍷 Krater → From the Greek ‘κρατήρ’
A large vessel used to mix wine with water during symposia — the heart of ancient wine culture.

🍾 Retsina → From ‘ῥητίνη’ (retini)
Named after the pine resin once used to seal amphorae and later became part of the flavor — an ancient tradition still alive today.

Savvatiano is Greece’s most planted grape — and it thrives in the heat where other grapes fade.

Agiorgitiko is known as the “Blood of Hercules” in myth.

Xinomavro is often called the “Barolo of Greece” — bold, complex, and built to age.

Assyrtiko is one of the few white grapes that can age gracefully for decades.

In Greek, “moscho” means fragrant, and it lives up to Moschofilero's name.

Malagousia was nearly lost — until a winemaker’s instinct brought this aromatic gem back to life.

Vidiano is Crete’s rising white star — once nearly extinct, now hailed as Greece’s next great white grape.
