The Winery | Aivalis | Family Tradition in Nemea

The Winery
A family tradition that continues

The history of the Aivalis family is inextricably linked to the viticulture of Nemea. For many generations, grape growing was a way of life, passing down from father to son the knowledge, respect for the land and love for Agiorgitiko.

In 1997, Christos Aivalis, continuing this long-standing family tradition, founded his own winery with a clear vision: to create wines that authentically express the vineyard, the uniqueness of Nemea and the philosophy of gentle winemaking.

Nemea in every bottle

The winery is located in the heart of Nemea, one of the most important wine-growing regions of Greece. The privately owned vineyards are cultivated with special care and low yields per acre, so that each grape acquires the maximum possible concentration, complexity and expressiveness.

Each vineyard is vinified separately, highlighting its special character and the differences offered by the soil, microclimate and location of each vineyard.

Respect for nature and wine

The winery's philosophy is based on low intervention in both the vineyard and the winemaking. Cultivation is carried out with gentle practices, without excessive fertilization and irrigation, allowing the vines' root system to naturally seek water and nutrients at a greater depth.

Native yeasts are used during winemaking, while most wines are not stabilized or filtered, in order to maintain their authentic character and honestly express the terroir of Nemea.

From Nemea to the world

The wines of the Aivalis family have won their place in both the Greek and international markets, traveling to many countries and representing modern Greek winemaking.

Labels such as Le Sang de la Pierre, Deux Dieux, Armakas and Tessera Ave Atque Vale are typical examples of the constant search for quality, authenticity and aging potential, proving that Agiorgitiko can stand on an equal footing with the world's leading red varieties.

A new generation, the same vision

Today, the new generation continues the family's work with the same dedication. Sotiris Aivalis, having acquired valuable knowledge and experience from Burgundy, actively contributes to the development of the winery, combining respect for tradition with a modern winemaking approach.

With a common point of love for the vineyard and the land of Nemea, father and son continue to create wines that capture the place, time and philosophy of the Aivalis family.
