Wine tradition and culture can be nothing but an integral part of Kos history, the island of Hippocrates, the great doctor of the ancient world, who promoted wine as a part of a healthy diet. So, the involvement of Triantafyllopoulos family in wine-making could not accidental, neither could the success of their labels be considered as such…
How can we introduce visitors to Triantafyllopoulos Winery’s profile?
The winery is built on an ideal location in the center of Kos, at the base of mountain Dikaios, at the rich land of Asfendiou. Since 1996, when the first grapes were planted under the consulting of professor Dimitris Stavrakas and enologist George Dedes,.the attention to detail in every stage of wine-making has begun bearing fruit. In 2001 the winery’s construction has started and in 2007 the wines were certified the P.G.I. indication placing the island in the national and global wine map.
The estate’s goal always was and remains the continuous dynamic evolution of the wine-making. Having invested in a mini experimental vineyard where grape varieties disappeared during the years had been planted,.Triantafyllopoulos Winery is trying to bring them back to life and back to our tables where they belong.

Which two labels should visitors take with them, as a reminder of their visit?
Definitely the dry whites Malagouzia – Sauvignon Blanc and Dikaios Oinos.
The first label is a blend of 50% Malagouzia and 50% Sauvignon Blanc. It is a wine loved for its light yellow-green color and its delicate fresh aromas of exotic fruits. Its flavor is fine, fresh, crisp, smooth and aromatic and it is best enjoyed with vegetables, tarts, risottos, soft cheeses, fruit, and sweets.
Dikaios Oinos is a blend of 50% Athiri and 50% Assyrtiko and stands out for its light yellow-green/chaffy color. Its aromatic character is flowery, fresh and discreet combined with the hints of vinification, while in the mouth it appears to be equally fresh, crisp and delicate. Ideal tasty companions could be fish or shellfish with white sauces or even cheese platters.
What are the highlights of the wider region that visitors should not miss?
Travelers can start their visit from the island’s quaint buildings that remind us of the crossing of the Italians,.such as the Police and the Municipal Market and go on to the Market of the Ancient City of Kos.
