Papantonis Winery

In 1992, the two siblings, Kallie and Antonis Papantonis, founded the winery that bares the same name, south of Argos. Its vineyard is in the PDO Nemea wine zone and was bought in 1979, by Antonis, who after a career in Greek and foreign businesses decided to work away from large cities, near nature, related to vine and wine. So, after he acquired wine experiences, he built, together with his sister, a marketing director, Papantonis winery (today Kallie has left the business).
The goal of the winery was and remains to focus only on two Greek varietals (Agiorgitiko and Roditis) and an international one (Chardonnay). Therefore it produces only two dry wines (PDO Nemea and a white Roditis-Chardonnay wine) and a sweet one, made of Agiorgitiko, with the ancient Greek name “Lysimelis” (that which can make your limps numb). The names of the dry wines are also ancient Greek: “Meden Agan” (meaning “nothing in excess”) and “Metron Ariston” (“moderation is best”). The privately owned vineyards of Papantonis winery are near the winery, on slopes, at an average altitude of 320 meters.
