The story of the Avantis Estate in Evia, began in 1994, with the first bottling taking place at the same time. The family has 20 hectares and a modern winery. Every wine has an expression of the area’s terroir. Syrah Avantis is what made the producer Apostolos Mountrichas known for. Syrah goes through a classic red winemaking process with a long extraction for 20-30 days under controlled temperature in order to improve the aromas. Malolactic fermentation takes place and then it matures for 12 months in new French oak barrels of 225 liters.
