Edanos Winery is a third generation small family and organic winery in the high altitude village of Kalamia, in Aigialeia, an ancient viticultural area tightly linked to the highest quality Roditis.
The family farms organically with an emphasis on the area’s indigenous varieties, such as Roditis, Lagorthi, Moschato of Rio, Mavro Kalavrytino, and Mavrodafni. Most vineyards are bush trained and dry farmed, indicative of the emphasis on high-quality and natural viticulture that the family was taught from previous generations. Vinification follows a natural approach with constant experimentation on the expression of these indigenous varieties.
