The Gofas family cultivates its vineyards and delivers from generation to generation. It all started in 1959, the year the Gofas family decided to utilize the proprietary vineyard in the areas of Kouchi and Daphne, in Nemea. In 1998, the young Konstantinos Gofas decided to modernize the winery with new machinery. He separates the vineyards, applies innovative viticultural techniques, advances in new varieties plantings creating blends of international standards, aiming to produce high quality wines. For Vasilio there is a selective harvest of overripe Agiorgitiko grapes. The vinification is then carried out with prolonged maceration of the grapes until the end of alcoholic fermentation, for 25 days. And finally it is aged for 30-36 months in French oak barrels of 225 litres and 12 months in bottle.
