Consider this your invitation to slow down, savour and share. On Wednesday, 29th April, Myrtos by Asimakis welcomes you for an intimate evening where Greek wine and cuisine come together in celebration of land, season and craft. From 6–10pm, we are joined by two esteemed wineries – Bosinakis and Acheon – whose wines will be thoughtfully paired with dishes from our à la carte menu.
Guided by the people behind the wines, this is an opportunity to experience Greece through its most expressive elements: its vineyards and spirit of togetherness.
BOSINAKIS WINERY: EXPLORING THE POWER OF MOSCHOFILERO
Bosinakis Winery began operating in 1992, but it was in 2009 that siblings Katerina and Sotiris Bosinakis began releasing wines under their own label, with a clear focus on exploring the full potential of Moschofilero. Based in the village of Steno, in the Mantinia plateau, the estate works vineyards planted at around 700 metres above sea level.
At this altitude, clay-rich soils and a cool climate suit Moschofilero particularly well, preserving aromatic precision and freshness while giving structure to the naturally light-bodied variety. The Bosinakis family have made a name for themselves by concentrating their knowledge and efforts solely on Moschofilero and specialising in small lots of outstanding single vineyard wines – from their benchmark PDO Mantineia, to a Pét-nat, and a wonderful, very light red wine from the pink-skinned Moschofilero.
ACHEON WINERY: AN ODE TO TRADITION AND TERROIR
Family remains at the heart of Acheon Winery, too. Run by two sisters – Sosanna and Katerina – Acheon’s focus is on the vinification of indigenous grape varieties, including Roditis, Sideritis, and Mavrodaphne. The vineyards are cultivated from the seaside at Aigio to the mountainous region of Aigialeia, where northerly exposures, high elevations and cool breezes from the Gulf of Corinth moderate summer heat and support extended ripening.
Following the traditional winemaking practices passed down through generations, which we now call minimal intervention, the sisters aim to produce quality wines from indigenous Greek varieties that naturally express the terroir and history of the region.
Join us for an evening where wine, food and conversation unfold at their own pace.
