Domaine Nerantzi
dates back to 1988 when winemaking started as a passionate expression of the love for wine coming from the desire to revive our tradition and culture passed to us from older generations in a modern way.
Going through all these years the family arrived at making wines of distinction and reaching markets around the world.

1988
The first wine.
In 1988 we have created our first wine, carrying on the tradition of our parents and grandparents. Up until 1998, the production of wine was mainly intended for our own consumption.
1998
The first establishment of our company.
In 1998 we set up our winery by making use of 1,3 hectares of vineyards that we owned in the area of Eptamili in Serres. Our winery was the first to officially launch bottled wine in the prefecture of Serres, the land of river Strymon.
1998-2000
Rescue of the grape varieties, Asprouda and Koniaros.
During this same period, we have managed to save, file and get official recognition for the two important indigenous grape varieties, Asprouda Serron and Koniaros. With our own initiative, we managed to get official recognition for the indication ‘Appellation of Origin’ for the Region of Serres.
Thus we became the first winery to represent land, with a great history as a wine region. This beautiful land is surrounded by five mountains and stretches throughout the valley of the river Strymon up to the point that the river reaches the coast of the ancient city of Amphipolis.
