When
history sparks the imagination deep into the ages to the Hellenic heritage,
sunny vineyards and libations to the gods colour the mind. Atalante Opoundia
Lokris has such a history. Archaeological finds including drinking vessels,
inscriptions and coins reflect a golden wine tradition since antiquity. A
place in wine history which spans the ages, Cultivation of the vine was a
focus of life throughout the course of time and references, practices and
handwritten manuscripts emphasise its important role. A long and continuous
tradition which flourished into modern times until recent years, when, in
1962, the vineyards were catastrophically struck by phylloxera. After twelve
years of silence, in 1974 DOMAINE HATZIMICHALIS
began to plant the vineyards anew awakening an era of revival.
Now,
once again, the vine entwines itself with the history of this blessed place
and offers the pleasures of exceptional - quality wine.
Both a reward and a responsibility.
