Zacharias Vineyards

Zacharias joined the bottled wine game only in 2002 but the history of this large winery is long. Its winery, one of the oldest and most historic in Nemea, has been operating since 1960. The winemaker Ilias Zacharias is an agronomist and, since 1973, has placed the family winery on more modern bases. Zacharias vineyards are over 40 hectares, mainly on slopes, around the village of Leontio and are cultivated with an integrated management system (a part of them organically, for a number of organic wines). Anyway, respect to the environment, man, wine quality and their prices are the family’s principles (the second generation which is now actively contributing to the winery).
