Visitable Winery – Lefkada
The history of “Lefkas Earth” started in 2000 when Dimitris Rombotis, graduate of wine studies with experience as responsible vine-dresser in several wine-cellars around Greece, established the first wine cellar in the village of Sivros in South Lefkas.
He took the advantage of the local varieties and, knowing well the know-how of wine, achieved high quality levels from the very first winemaking. His close collaboration with the wine producers of the area resulted in high quality first material and led to the plantation of new vineyards.
Following the requests of modern times we have moved to the construction of a modern winery which is open to the public and it is situated on the main road of Nydri – Vassiliki, above Sivota, offering a new blow and new dynamics, for even better results.
Wine is tradition, knowhow, is a place, it’s human history and culture.
Believing in these and targeting the ultimate quality, we’ve created a complex of four buildings, in harmony with the inclined ground and the characteristics of the layout of the area without deviating from the strategic goal of the successful production line. The wine-making and bottling takes place in the two large buildings.
The modern equipment consists of stainless fermentation tanks with temperature control in every step of the production, pre-fermentation tanks, stabilization tanks, destemmer and pumps that ensure the minimum strain on the grapes, oak barrels for the ageing, a laboratory for quality control, automatic and semi-automatic bottling equipment as well as an air-conditioned cellar for the ageing of the already bottled wine.
Lefkada is a large and fertile island has much to offer visitors and residents alike. Impressive landscapes, large, golden beaches, traditional villages, charming capital, archaeological sites and museums, local cuisine and wine delights of the unique traditional varieties.
