Our winery

The Megapanos winery is situated in Pikermi, in the heart of the Mesoghia, the most noted wine growing region of Attica and has invested in some of the latest of the art in wine making equipment. The company’s philosophy and aim are to produce wines of excellent quality from the renowned wine producing localities of Attica, in particular and of Greece in general.Alexandros Megapanos, the owner and founder of the company, is an active member of the “Wine producers’ Union of Attica”, a participant in the project « The wine routes of Attica» and a contributor in other activities aiming to develop the wine production of the region.

The wine making facility of our Winery consists of a weigh-bridge, the area where we receive the grapes, the pneumatic press and the tanks with cooling jackets for maintaining the must and wine at the correct temperature before, during and after fermentation. In this area we receive the grapes in baskets, we weigh them, and then every type of grape follows a special process to be vinified. Details on the vinifying procedure for each type of wine can be found by visiting the products section. Once the vinification process is completed, the wines are then selected either for ageing in oak barrels in the wine cellar, or for bottling in the bottling premises.

The wine is received here in stainless steel isothermal tanks and is cooled at a temperature close to its freezing point in order to prevent tartaric sediments from forming once bottled. The tartaric sediment looks like crystals at the bottom of the bottle. The wine is then filtered, bottled and labeled. The cases with the bottled wine are then put onto pallets and taken into an air conditioned cellar where they are stored.

In the laboratory the must and the wine are analyzed in order to ensure quality standards are achieved, in accordance with the ISO 9001:2000 and the HACCP certificates of quality and security with which A. Megapanos Winery is certified

In the winery’s wine cellar the wine remains in oak barrels under ideal conditions of temperature for one or two years depending on the type of wine. A selection of the wine from these barrels and with the requisite quality, is then transferred into stainless steel tanks, where the final blend is obtained.

In the storing cellar the bottled wines are kept either for ageing, in the case of the red wines, or are held for later delivery to our clients. The cellar is air conditioned in order to provide the best storage conditions for the wines.
