Domaine Gerovassiliou

Winery

The two buildings forming the Domaine's winery are located at the heart of the vineyard.

The first one comprises four large distinct areas. Its construction started in 1986 and ended in 1999, following five successive interventions.

The wine-production area -specially designed for receiving the grapes straight after the harvest and for the smooth circulation of must and wine- houses all necessary equipment for the production of high-quality wines: pneumatic press, special tanks for the pre-fermentation maceration (skin contact) of white wines, stainless steel fermentation tanks for white and red vinification with automated cooling system, oak fermentation vats for red vinification and stabilisation tanks.

All red wines and some of the white ones produced by the Domaine's winery are stored for a significant period of time in the two underground maturing-ageing areas. It is there that under constant temperature and humidity conditions, which are maintained by a special automated temperature control system, wines benefit from ageing in hundreds of new French oak 225lt barrels.

The bottling area houses a state-of-the-art wine bottling system.

The second 3500m2 building was constructed in 2006-2008. The ground floor houses the labeling and packaging equipment. In the two basement areas, when modern technology helps in creating a balanced preservation environment, bottled wines rest in ideal conditions until they are released.
