Mercouri Estate
Domaine Mercouri is an old vineyard dating back to the late 1800’s located in Korakohori Ilias. In 1870, the first Refosco vines were planted on the estate that were imported from Friuli, Italy. In the early 1930’s, second generation family member Leonidas Mercouri built the first modern winery in that area. The winery remained functional until 1955. Between 1955 and 1989, much of the estate’s grape production was sold to the larger wineries in the area. In 1990, the third and fourth generations of the Mercouri family decided to rebuild the winery. The existing structure was renovated and modernized. The vineyards were also replanted keeping with organic practices.
