Stamnaki is a modern Greek winery rooted in tradition, drawing its name from the ancient “stamnaki” clay vessel, historically used in Greece for fermenting and storing wine. The estate is located in Northern Greece, where Mediterranean sunshine meets cooling mountain influences, creating an ideal balance of ripeness and natural acidity. The brand is built around honoring Greece’s deep winemaking heritage while presenting indigenous varieties in a clean, contemporary style for today’s market.
The vineyards are planted in well-drained soils typical of northern Greek wine regions — often a mix of clay, limestone, and sandy loam — which help regulate vine vigor and enhance concentration. The focus is on classic Greek grapes such as Xinomavro, Assyrtiko, Malagousia, and Agiorgitiko, varieties that thrive in Greece’s diverse microclimates and express strong regional identity. Farming practices emphasize careful vineyard management and fruit quality, with hand-harvesting common to preserve grape integrity.
Winemaking at Stamnaki blends old-world philosophy with modern precision. Fermentations are typically carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve varietal purity, while select red wines may see neutral oak aging to soften structure and add depth. The overall style prioritizes balance, freshness, and food-friendly structure, showcasing Greece’s native grapes in a way that feels authentic yet accessible.
Stamnaki positions itself as a bridge between ancient Greek wine culture and modern global appreciation, offering wines that reflect both heritage and approachability. It is a brand that celebrates Greece’s historic connection to wine while delivering clean, expressive bottlings suited for contemporary wine programs and retail shelves.
