A great family wine tradition since 1959, in the vineyards owned by the family in Koutsi, Nemea. On 1998 Konstantinos Gofas is on the leadership, taking steps to separate the vineyards, depending on the variety grown there, to introduce new techniques and methods, to grow new varieties and to produce wines of great quality.
A modern production unit with great family history. The first label of retsina «Kechribari» to travel the world and show the great potential and quality of this wine comes from this family. The owner Stelios, along with his wife and their children are the beholders of this great tradition. There is always a quest for new flavours and so the wines “Rosa” and “Afros” are innovative and a great way to re-introduce the resin flavours of this famous greek wine.
