Domaine Zafeirakis represents one of the most exciting new Domaines of Greece. Nestled in the foothills of Mount Olympus, in the region of Thessaly, Christos Zafeirakis has built a winery both in honor and continuation of the four generations of winemakers in his family that preceded him. Having an impressive resume including completing his oenology masters degree at the University of Milan and consecutive years of work in Tuscany, Piedmont, and Alto Adige, Christos returned to Tirnavos and immediately started to set new standards by creating the first organic vineyard in the area in 2005. As if that weren’t enough, he extended the family’s holdings to 8 hectares and worked tirelessly to reintroduce the obscure native varietal Limniona which was nearly extinct due to the phylloxara epidemic 80 years prior.

"The Ktima Zafeirakis 2025 Malagousia Microcosmos (a certified organic and biodynamic wine) showcases one of the stars of Greece's modern wine revival. Aromas of mango, papaya and general tropical fruit are delivered with restraint and elegance, allowing subtle mineral and herbal nuances to emerge alongside the richer fruit. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and aged on the fine lees for six months, the wine balances texture and aromatic complexity with freshness and poise. Production totals 14,000 bottles." -92 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
