The distinctive character of Domaine Myrsini is rooted in a demanding geological mosaic. Vines here struggle through granite, gneiss, and limestone, often capped with sandy topsoil. This mineral complexity imbues the wines with a natural tension and salinity, mirroring the sea breeze that sweeps the island.
To survive the fierce Meltemi winds, some of the vines are trained in the traditional aplotaria method of low-lying bush vines that hug the ground for protection. It is a rugged environment, yet one that rewards patience with grapes of remarkable concentration and purity.
