    More info

    We don't believe there is any other wine that could better express Yiannis Oikonomou's aesthetic of what he defines as a great wine. Antigone takes you on a unique journey into a world where perfection is defined by concepts such as authenticity and truth. An important terroir, defined here by the great Liatiko grape and the old pre-phylloxera vineyards, and an approach to winemaking that allows the wine to mature, evolve, and transform over the years into something exquisite. Harmony, elegance, balance, finesse, tension, and complexity are just some of the words that will come to mind when you taste Antigone. What could be considered Yiannis Oikonomou's grand cru, in Burgundy terms, is above all the culmination of his winemaking philosophy, his thrilling experience, and his patience with his wines and with time. A "work of art" by a great producer.
