ktima pavlidis
Pavlidis Estate is situated in the region of Drama, in northern Greece, in a narrow valley on the footslopes of Mount Falakro, in proximity to the winter sports resort of Falakro.
It was founded by Christoforos Pavlidis in 1998 after a long search for suitable sites for quality grape growing.
Philosophy
The aim of Pavlidis Estate is the production of premium wines, with pleasing aroma and flavor characteristics but also with a distinct and recognizable character.
To fulfill this goal, the Estate has planted 60 hectares of privately-owned vineyards in order to achieve a complete control of the quality of its production. In these vineyards, native and international winegrape varieties are grown with the aim to reveal the unique characteristics of our region, a terroir used from ancient times until today for vine cultivation.
The Vineyards
Pavlidis Estate vineyards are situated in two different sites, distinguished from ancient times for their unique terroir, Kokkinogia and Perichora. Grapes of these regions are vinified to produce wines bearing the geographical indication of Regional Wine of Drama.
The winery
The Estate winery was conceived and constructed byPanagiotis Hatzinas; it is situated in the north side of the Kokkinogia vineyard. With clean, austere surfaces and wholly shielded with limestone, it refers directly to New World winery style.
The winery was designed according to the functional use of space and machinery. State-of-the-art technological equipment was selected on the basis of a minimum processing of grapes, must and wine in order to protect and reveal the fruit's full potential.
The ground floor is used as vinification cellar, equipped with modern inox tanks for fermentation and stocking purposes, and also lodges a hall for bottle ageing and conservation. Wine from tanks is transferred by gravity to the underground cellar, where, under continuous control of ambient conditions, the wine matures in oak barrels from central and northern France for a period of several months. In the centre of the underground cellar is situated the impressive tasting room with a breathtaking view of the barrels.
