
Methymnaeos (Award-winning) in the remote village of Chidira is the first professional winery in the history of Lesvos, an island with an age-old winemaking tradition dating from mythical times. We have been in operation since 1985, producing wines with the following three characteristics:
1. All our wines, the red, the white and our rather original orange wine are exclusively made from the rare grape variety "Chidiriotiko" of the island of Lesvos.
2. Our land, consisting of the lava which formed the Petrified Forest of Lesvos, contains up to 7% sulfur, copper sulfate and other sulfur compounds. As a result, it is one of the most characteristic wine-producing lands of Greece, and our wines have a rather distinct minerality.

3.The sulfur and sulfur compounds it contains, our earth offers us natural protection against diseases, both of vines and of wine. This gives our wines another very important characteristic, and that is their organic way of production. Our wines are not just made with organic grapes, but organic wines. This means that it's not just the grapes producing our wines that are organic, but our whole production process from vineyard to the bottle is organic, too.
