In the 360 private estate acres of the land field, the tradition in the production of the traditional Zante Verdea-Rouge-Rose wines continues
In the olive orchard of 250 private estate acres, it is produced the Extra Virgins olive oil - organic farming- with an acidity of 0.2-0.5% famous of its aroma is the best quality which exists on the international market.
Serving our tradition of innovation and quality since 1638, we grow traditional Zante products in our family vineyard and olive orchard at Agria Comoutos.
This family occupation, with consistency, enthousiasm and assiduity in traditional technique for 4 centuries, gives us the right to be considered the older Greek wine factory.
The cultivation of the vineyard can be traced back to the year 1638 and until now, the cultivation of this specific land is the favorite occupation of the Comoutos family.
The excellent climatic conditions prevailing over the island as well as the particular echosystem characterising the area in Agria, have greatly contributed to the exceptional quality of the wines being produced for centuries now. Lately, we started Original Biological Cultivation.
Today, in the updated and modern wine presses of the land, which N. Comoutos has dreamed of, we are producing the following wines. The traditional Verdea, a strong untamed and unique Greek White dry wine, our Red wine with the bright colour and its discreet taste as well as a Rose wine which is a combination of 8 different grape varieties.
The Classical Verdea as well as the Red Comoutos wine are kept for a ten (10) month period in oak barells and then in a recumbent manner in the bottle for one further year till they finally show their famous bouquet. Today we use biological prototype cultivations.
In our traditional products of Zante are applied the most evolved methods of production, refrigerators, oak French barrels, as well as the Biological Cultivation, that is to say culture without toxic fertilizers and medicines.
Our organic cultivation is controlled and certified by Jetzt auch aus DIO, The Certification and Inspection Organiation of Organic Productions.
