Winemaker Notes
Tiny back alley, notes of espresso and delicate violet permeate the air. Cobblestone streets reverberate with exotic spice and juniper. The chef, who let you in the back door, carves thin slices of fat rich jamon iberico paired with crusty baguettes. Charcoal and smoke give way to layer upon layer of deep rich black fruits. Opulent, sexy and daring, our cool climate 'black beauty's' sly smile is telling... she's having more fun!

Wine Enthusiast
Grippy blue-fruit and graphite elements combine around graceful tannins and subtle power in this estate wine. Smoky game and oak come along for the lengthy ride.

Ampelos is a Greek word meaning "vine". We believe that all great wines are made in the vineyard, we also have strong ties to Greece, so “ampelos” truly represents our focus.
We believe in taking care of and respecting the environment and that our vineyard needs to be in balance, therefore a few years ago we made the decision to go 100% bio-dynamic. This means we are essentially organic - yet a step beyond. In 2008, we were one of the first vineyards to be certified as Sustainably Farmed, a milestone of which we are particularly proud.
