Domaine Harlaftis: About | The Wines | Ratings & Awards | Distributors | Maps | Media | Contact
Τhe Harlaftis winery has established its position as a modern wine-making business, with a consistent and strong track record over the years in the production of quality wines, made to rigorous specifications.
From the initial vision of its founder to the present-day plans of his successors, the philosophy underlying the Harlaftis winery has remained the same: one big family that loves good wine.
From the soil, the vine and the water to the ripening, the aging and the bottling, each label continues to be a strictly… family affair.
Faithful to tradition but also having fully embraced the latest developments in the science of oenology, the Harlaftis winery continues its journey in time as if it were still that one-man business, created by its founder about 80 years ago. The persistence, patience and expertise that characterize the people working there are attested by each bottle coming from the family vineyards.
According to the Harlaftis winemaking philosophy, the wine is made in the vineyard and not in the winery. To that end, precision viticulture techniques are applied. This means that the vines enjoy all the care they need while growing, in order to avoid any artificial intervention during the vinification process. Pruning and green pruning – i.e. the tip pinching, the shoot thinning and the foliage thinning – are done at the appropriate time of the year.
After harvesting, the grapes are transferred to the winery, which has been designed in line with the needs of the estate.
The winery is equipped with many small vinificators (tanks), so that each vine unit is vinified separately, depending on the quality of the grape it produces. The temperature inside the vinificators is controlled during fermentation. The year, the vineyard, the grape ripening process and the daily tasting from the tanks define the extraction techniques and its duration. Both the Harlaftis wineries have a large underground cellar with more than 500 barrels each. It is inside these barrels that the wine makes its last stop, waiting as long as necessary to be bottled.
The Harlaftis vineyards are planted linearly and densely (6,000 vines per hectare). Thus, the plants compete with each other as to which one will give the best fruit. This ensures ideal results from each root. Moreover, great importance is given to the management of foliage height for each plant, aiming at the optimum ripeness of the fruit.Each vineyard is handled differently, depending on the variety, the age and the location. Careful use of water is a rule, so that the vines are watered only when it is necessary.
Furthermore, the Harlaftis estate strictly follows all the standards of organic farming:
- Uses only natural fertilizers.
- All materials of winemaking and pruning return to the vineyard and become organic matter that enhances the soil. This ensures the sustainability of the earth.
The Harlaftis winery is more than just a production unit. It is the place where wine is born. And the people who work there are responsible for its proper… upbringing.
The Wines

Saumon 2015
Dry Rosé Wine
PGI Peloponnisos
An unusual organic rosé that looks and feels elegant but at the same time is ready to take on interesting culinary challenges at the table. Cabernet Sauvignon makes it more serious than it looks, giving it an interestingly fruity and spicy nose, as well as a rich yet fresh palate. It can be enjoyed on its own, as an aperitif, but it will definitely express itself better when paired with sushi or Chinese cuisine dishes.

GRAPE/BLEND:
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
ALC: 13%

Petaloudes 2015
Dry Rosé Wine
PGI Peloponnisos
A very popular organic rosé that proves how food-friendly rosé wines can be. It’s elegantly made, boasts a finely spicy nose and a fresh, cool palate with a pleasant finish. More importantly, it can be enjoyed all-year long, especially when paired successfully. That’s not to say that it won’t make a perfect aperitif, but it must be given a chance to excel, served with cold cuts, peppery cheeses and Indian cuisine dishes.
