MANTINIA

At an altitude of 650 meters, we find the local Boutari vineyard, covering an area of 31 hectares. The largest area is covered by the indigenous variety Moschofilero. Other cultivated varieties are Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay and other Greek and international varieties that are under experimentation.

The vineyard is 25-30 years old with a dry soil. A large area of the vineyard consists of eastern-facing gravel slopes, which ensures exceptional maturity and premium quality raw materials. The soils are clay and marl, with good drainage. The climate of the region is characterized as continental with cold winters and hot summers.

Selected vineyards are also cultivated in an equally important PDO region of Peloponnese, Nemea. In the region of Leondio and Ancient Nemea, we find Agiorgitiko, the noblest of Greek red varieties. Boutari closely collaborates with local vine-growers with long-term contracts that ensure control and a close relationship with the region and the production of exceptional, high-quality wines. In Douramani, there is a small privately-owned vineyard of 1.4 hectares, where experimental wines are produced in limited quantities.
