Lykos Winery: About | The Wines | Ratings & Awards | Distributors | Maps | Media | Contact
Unique traditional family winery.
Lykos Winery was founded in 1991 by Apostolos Lykos and is located Central Greece at the beautiful Island of Evia, just 80 km from Athens at the area of Malakonda- Eretria. The idea of its creation came as a sequence of the family`s restaurant which produced its own wine to serve the its customers. The restaurant is still running next to the Winery and both coexist for winetourists. Lykos family is third generation winemakers, who give respect to winemaking tradition while complimenting these traditions with the utilization of cutting edge technology.
They continue to realize the vision of the family which is to contribute to the continuous improvement of Evian vineyard. The vineyards are spanning at both sides of south central Evia, mountainous Boeotia and in the Koutsi area of Nemea. The unique collaboration of sun, earth and human knowledge creates an explosive effect, combining the ideal terroir aura of Evian with the uniqueness of the cold winter which favors the phenolic ripening of the grapes.
All the rich experience of creation that has passed from grandparents to grandchildren with passion and love has resulted in our wines receiving numerous international awards. Recently Malagousia (P.G.I. Evia) was awarded with Gold Medal at Berliner Wein Trophy 2016 and got 90 points at Decanter 2016. Kratistos (P.D.O. Nemea), the matured Agiorgitiko was awarded with two Gold Medals from Berliner Wein Trophy 2016 and CWSA 2016. Cabernet Sauvignon (P.G.I. Central Greece) which awarded with Silver Medal at BIWC 2016 is going to be launched for first time as BIO.
The visited winery tour of the underground cellars with oak barrels and the tasting room is a unique experience combined with the tasteful suggestions of the homonymous family`s restaurant. The winery is open for visitors all year around and welcomes private oenotourists and organized groups. At the premises there are available for selling all the winery`s wines as well as traditional local products. Also, wine seminars, business presentations and other events can be supported. Its location, so close to Athens and its offerings makes it a wine destination on its own.
A visit to our winery in Malakonda, which overlooks the main road of wines of Evia is the ideal trip to the countryside which can be combined with its archaeological sites and diamond tastes!
The Wines
Malagousia 2016
Dry White Wine
PGI Evia
At the Lykos family winery in Evia, they like Malagousia and they know this delightful grape very well. This wine is an absolute crowd-pleaser. Soft and delicate all around, with beautiful floral nuances in the nose, maximized by its rather playful acidity on the palate. This is an all-around white wine that can be easily enjoyed on its own, as an aperitif. At the table, it pairs magnificently with vegetarian dishes cooked with freshly-cut green herbs.

Kratistos 2012
Dry Red Wine
PDO Nemea
Versatile, balanced and highly enjoyable. These words are often used to describe wines made from the Agiorgitiko grape, and this is no exception. In fact, Kratistos 2012 is a typical Agiorgitiko from Nemea, displaying the right fruit and spice aromatic qualities in the nose, as well as a comfortably familiar silky sensation on the palate. This is a textbook food-friendly wine that will pair perfectly with most everyday meat dishes.
