Hidden Gems in Archaies Kleones

Sellas Winery ★ 4.3

Agiorgitiko, Malagousia, Assyrtiko, Roditis, Moschofilero, Sauvignon BlancFounded 2000Archaies KleonesMon-Sat 09:00-19:00. Closed Sunday and public holidays.

A family cellar at Archaies Kleones working 80 stremmata of its own vines plus fruit from fifteen selected growers. The range runs from the Rizes and Oneirou Odos labels to an Agiorgitiko matured in amphora.

Why locals love it: Open six days a week until seven in the evening, which almost nothing else in the zone is, and the amphora red is the only one of its kind here.

Tip: Ring ahead on the mobile rather than emailing. The tasting room is small and the family runs it themselves.

Agiorgitiko, MoschofileroArchaies Kleones

A long standing Archaies Kleones cellar pouring Agiorgitiko and Moschofilero, and one of the houses the producers association puts forward when the September festival opens its tasting programme.

Why locals love it: Archaies Kleones is the first village on the way in from Corinth and gets driven straight through by anyone heading for the town.

Tip: Visits are by arrangement. The village also holds the temple of Herakles, which the modern games use as a race start.
