AGIOS CHRONOS - HOLY TIME
Syrah 92% - Viognier 8%
The wine is the result of a combination of two noble varieties, Syrah and Viognier, the way people do it in the district of North Rhone. It is produced by people who share their eagerness and a vision to create a 'Great' wine from Euboea.
"Agios (Holy) is the time that helps fine wine develop and become Great, as holy is time that teaches us how to make Wine".
