Region: Achaia

With a long tradition in the historic wine region of Aigio (since 1946), the Katsikostas family is in its 3rd generation, which is the siblings Lucas and Sossana (who has studied oenology in France). So in 2004 Achaean Winery is created and brother and sister take up the winery. The selection of the best grapes in Achaia and Aigialia, especially mountainous Aigialia, even from less common grape varieties (e.g. Sideritis) and their optimal use is the vision of Achaean Winery for its wines.

RIRA Vineyards (the name is the area’s old name) are around 25 hectares, are situated on the slopes of Aigialia and have a view of the Corinthian Golf. They involve 15 grape varieties, international and native which Panagiotis Tsitsas, their owner, as a well-travelled wine lover chose to establish in his homeland and truly authentic Greek vineyard (2007).
The beauty here takes your breath away, as the vineyards cover the whole top of their hill. The goal of the owner is a mutual goal for everyone in RIRA Vineyards: the utilization of the grapes for the production of wines which express their region, having the best possible quality price ratio at the same time.
