| For over 25 years in the land of Dionysus and his mother Semeli, George Kokotos, a civil engineer by training, has been practicing the age old art of fine wine production; giving to his wines the name of their muse “Semeli”.
The Semeli winery is located at an altitude of 600 metres at Koutsi, one of the most celebrated “crus” of Nemea O.P.A.P. (Appellation of Origin of Superior Quality). The winery design takes full advantage of the terrain’s sloping position, being gravity-fed.
People with a true, deep passion are usually oblivious of it but the team at Semeli likes to use technology to gain control over the quality and consistency of their products, but finally they let their passion run free. What they consider crucial is retaining a “feel” for the finest details of their grapes, musts and wines - separating everything into small lots that will be treated according to their unique characteristics. For example a unique tank feeding system, designed and patented by George Kokotos, can separate grape loads at reception and pour them, using only gravity, to 24 different vinification vats, thus creating 24 parallel, small “wineries”.
The Semeli winery is a boutique estate, focusing on the production of high quality, handcrafted wines. There has been a continuous refinement of techniques in the cellar and a deeper understanding of the terroir with each vintage. |
