Domaine Gerovassiliou


To say Vangelis Gerovassiliou is a well qualified vigneron would be an understatement. After graduating from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki`s School of Agriculture, he went on to the University of Bordeaux in France to study Oenology, Viticulture, Wine-Tasting and the Technology of Wine-making. In 1976 he was appointed an oenologist and Domaine Porto Carras, one of the most prestigeous greek winery`s. During his time there, he rescued Malagousia (an ancient greek variety) from near extinction. With this wealth of knowledge and experience, he returned to his family winery in Papamola, Epanomi to revive and expand their vineyard. He extended over 2.5 Hectares and planted a large range of indigenous and some foreign varieties. He now works with top Oenologist Vassilis Tsaktsarlis, and they run multiple projects around greece, as well as Escapades Winery in South Africa, their latest venture. Vangelis manages to marry his love of tradition and history with his knowledge and expertise of modern techniques and innovative equiptment, the results are beautifully crafted, truly unique wines with a real expression of terroir. These are really worth exploring.
