The name ΠΑΝΘΗΡ / PANTHER is an homage to Dionysian iconography. The panther is one of the most characteristic symbols of Dionysus and a loyal companion to his travels and feasts.

VARIETY
Agiorgitiko
Elegant red variety which ripens in our area in mid-September. Moderately vivid vine that, by following the suitable/proper viticultural practices in our region’s hot and dry climate, produces wines of high phenolic content.
Limniona
Red variety, favored in our area, which ripens late, in the end of September. Vivid vine with relatively large grapes and highly resilient to our region’s dry and hot climate. It has adjusted beautifully and gives off remarkably interesting wines with elegant tannins.
Mavroudi
Local red variety ripening in mid-September. It bears a morphological resemblance to Agiorgitiko but produces smaller grapes, which have a very dark -almost black-color at the time of full ripening, from which their name [mavro=black] is derived.
