The Voyatzis family originates from Velvento, 30 km east of Kozani in Macedonia. Members of the third generation — Yannis (who studied oenology at the University of Bordeaux), his engineer brother Niko, and their father Harissis — returned with a shared vision: to establish a vineyard and winery on the site of an old Voyatzis family vineyard near Lake Velvento. Between 1991 and 1994, a modern vineyard was planted across 40 hectares, combining local and international varieties to produce wines of high quality with genuine character from the Kozani wine landscape.
