Since 2011, in Oia, Santorini, Estate Fotias has passionately dedicated itself to preserving the unique agricultural heritage of this land. From day one, the farm has been certified organic, cultivating indigenous varieties on the island’s unique volcanic soil of ash, lava, and pumice.
Among the oldest grape varieties, black currant vines thrive in this unique microclimate where the lack of water plays a crucial role. In a structure that is the first of its kind in Santorini and perhaps the entire Cyclades, black currants ripen in the shade of caves, developing authentic aromas, rich flavours, and full-bodied character.
