Welcome to Oreska

We grow Assyrtiko on twenty-eight terraces of black pumice, coiled low into baskets so the island wind can't take the fruit. You can stay among the vines, pick with us at dawn, and drink last year's wine as the sun drops into the sea.

The estate

Twenty-eight terraces on one hill

The estate is a single slope of pumice falling west to the sea. Each terrace is held up by a dry-stone wall, and every vine on it is trained into a low basket so the wind passes over the fruit.

  • Soilpumice and volcanic ash, no clay
  • Height60 to 180 m above the sea
  • Wind5 to 7 on the Beaufort scale in August
  • Rain290 mm a year, almost all in winter

Why we pick before seven

Cool grapes keep their acid and their perfume. Here is what a harvest morning looks like, hour by hour.

The coil: how basket vines beat the wind

Our vines grow in low rings on the ground. It looks strange; it is the only reason there is wine here at all.

Inside a cellar dug into pumice

Our cellar was cut into the hill in 1890. It stays at fifteen degrees all summer without a single machine.
