T-OINOS

The wines of T-OINOS possess a liquid energy. At first, they can be disconcerting. There is no explosion of exuberant or superfluous aromas, but rather a rising sensation of warmth, euphoria, comfort, and verticality.

At the heart of the lunar landscapes of Falatados and Volax, shaped over millions of years by wind and time, the T-OINOS project takes form. This dramatic setting is scattered with massive granite boulders which, according to geologists, were formed between 15 and 25 million years ago. Through fluctuations in temperature and humidity, and sculpted by relentless winds, they have gradually evolved into their distinctive spherical shapes.

More than 25 years ago, Alexandre Avatangelos and sommelier Gérard Margeon founded an estate entirely dedicated to expressing an absolutely unique terroir. In 2016, renowned consulting winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt joined the project, bringing a resolutely terroir-driven approach.

Their ambition: to revive a 6,000-year-old vineyard, to produce great wines capable of traveling the world, while preserving a natural environment of exceptional beauty.

Today, T-OINOS farms approximately 15 hectares, certified organic and practiced with biodynamic principles, under the direction of Michalis Tzanoulinos. The emblematic grape varieties—Assyrtiko, Mavrotragano, and Avgoustiatis—are planted at high density on granite and schist soils, giving rise to wines that are vibrant, precise, and remarkably pure.

T-OINOS now stands as one of the most singular viticultural projects in the Aegean Sea, in the Cyclades uniting millennia of tradition, research, respect for nature, and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence.
