Description

Argosy Trading and La Maison Du Vin are hosting Yiannis Tselepos himself for a wine tasting event at LaMaison Du Vin on Kennedy Avenue in Nicosia on Friday 23 April at 6 pm

Yiannis Tselepos, one of the central figures of the Greek wine renaissance, started his Peloponnesian winery in 1989 after studying enology in Dijon, France, and working for several years in Burgundy.

Today Tselepos has many admirers among his winemaking peers–both for his abilities as a winemaker and for his cheerful and welcoming disposition. Behind the perpetual smile, however, is a serious artisan driven to constantly raise his personal standards of quality. As a participant in the quality revolution, Tselepos is a quiet leader, a man whose wine is his sole calling card. His growth as winemaker has been characterized by steady, incremental steps towards international standards. Having crossed that line securely during the last few years, Tselepos is now one of a handful of Greek producers ready to play in the big leagues.
