About the Winery:
The Gavalas family’s history, part of
the rich tradition of winemaking in Santorini, is carried on today by
George
Gavalas utilizing many of the same practices as his distant forefathers.
But
even though many customs of the past still remain, George has been able
to
bring a modern approach to the family business in order to help realize
the
enormous potential of the indigenous varieties from this unique volcanic
island. The winery, located in Megalohori, focuses on the main variety
of
Assyrtiko, but also been involved in reviving some of the more obscure
grapes
on the island like Katsano and Gaidouria.
