Producer Profile

Sant'Or

Sant’Or wines, overseen by local grower Panagiotis Dimitropoulos near Patra, Greece, epitomizes a commitment to biodynamic viticulture and the revival of indigenous grape varieties. Cultivating 4.5 hectares of vineyards at an altitude of 600 meters without irrigation, Panagiotis focuses on two unique varietals: the rare Santameriana white grape and the renowned Mavrodafni red grape, historically celebrated for its sweet wines but now showcased in impressive dry vinifications. As one of the few growers cultivating Santameriana and crafting dry monovarietal Mavrodafni, Panagiotis embodies a dedication to preserving local traditions and raising awareness of indigenous grapes. In his pursuit of authenticity, he employs dry, biodynamic vinification methods.
