V.Q.P.R.D. RAPSANI MOUNT OLYMPUS
since 1880
On the enchanting hillsides of the notorious Mount Olympus, in the heart of the appellation region of RAPSANI, the CHRISOHOOU WINERY and its privately owned vineyards in more than 30 stremmas are located. The CHRISOHOOU Family cultivates & produces local wines since 1880 and today, the 4th generation – Giorgos & Telemachos – is continuing the family tradition.
The unique microclimate, the rich terroir & the high altitude of the region, as well as the carefully selected indigenous grape varieties & controlled yield (maximum 600-800 kg/stremma), combined with the “cutting- edge” wine making techniques, are the key factors for the production of this authentic superb RAPSANI, ideally expressing the philosophy & vision of the CHRISOHOOU family tradition.
Today, we are pleased to introduce the winery’s pride, a robust & powerful dry red original & authentic RAPSANI made of Stavroto, Krasato & Xinomavro carefully selected grapes, matured in French oak barrels for 12 months, at an extremely limited number of bottles.
