In Kounavi, a village that lies in the heart of the Appellation zone of Peza in Crete, we make wine from the island’s indigenous grape varieties since 1973 basing upon our knowledge and passion; we bring the special characteri-stics of the international varieties to spotlight and exploit the viniculture potential of our homeland.
The name of the village where our winery is situated is a great proof of the long winemaking tradition, since it is directly related to the historical wine-presses “Kanaves” that are found on the islands of the Archipelago.
At MEDITERRA Winery we create wines that are distributed in Greece and in 25 countries allover the world.
Our wines have been awarded medals as much in domestic as in international wine competitions.
Certified for four quality systems both in the vineyard and the final products, we continue offering unique wines for all of you who consider wine as lifestyle!
The winery of Mediterra lies in a building ground of 15.000m2 in the village Kounavi of the Nikos Kazantzakis municipality in the prefecture of Heraklion in Crete.
The winery’s facilities consist of the area where the wine grapes are collected and processed for vinification, the underground storage and wine ageing area, the two wine cellars with the oak barrels and barriques, the bottling facility and the area for the preservation of the final products.
The storage capacity reaches the 19.000hl in stainless steel and oak tanks, while the two wine cellars dispose of over 500 oak barrels (300lt) and barriques (225lt).
