This pocket-sized estate is now in its third generation, but has only sold its own label for twenty years. Young Giorgios Diamantakos is well-trained and ambitious and offers what are arguably the most dramatic wines we offer from this region. Total production averages 1000 cases!

Property History:
In 1968, ruins were found on Diamantakos’s land, which later proved to be Aristotle’s school, where Alexander the Great was taught. The government compensated the family for the land and they bought what now is the Diamantakos 'Ktima' vineyards and winery. The vineyards consist of two indigenous Greek grape varietals, Xinomavro and Preknadi.
Owner History:
George Diamantakos is the third generation winemaker. His grandfather and father planted the grapes in the 80s, and began making their own wine in the 90s. George grew up working the vineyards with them and went off to study oenology, where his passion for winemaking began. He took over when he returned in 2005, and continues his artistry, cultivating, learning and perfecting with each harvest.
