Yannis Valambous had a successful career as an economist in the UK. But in 2010, he decided to leave that behind, and move to Santorini; he wanted to restore and develop the vineyards and winery left to him by his late father. Yannis had fond memories of going to Santorini on holiday as a child and believed that the island had the potential to produce world class wines. So, with the help of two talented oenologists, he set about reviving the property and building a state-of-the-art winery, to allow them to create high quality wines from indigenous varieties.
