Estate Argyros was founded in 1903 by Georgios Argyros, with a vineyard of only 5 hectares located in Santorini. Georgios produced his wines according to the traditional Santorini method and mainly sold them in the local market. In 1950 Estate Argyros passed to Matthew Argyros, who not only continued his father's business, but expanded the family vineyard to almost 7 hectares. The person who, however, most significantly changed the winery's image was the founder's grandson, Yiannis Argyros, who has been running it since 1974. Yiannis has not only extended the vineyard to the current 65 hectares, but has also worked hard to combine family tradition with modern technology and to ensure the high quality of the grapes. Matthew, the son of Yiannis, today represents the fourth generation of the Argyros family. Faithful to the principles of his ancestors, he combines tradition with innovation, working hard for the future of the company. The vineyard is located in Episkopi Gonia Thiras. The soil is volcanic and the vines are cultivated ungrafted. The Argyros winery has one of the oldest vineyards on the island: some parcels are more than 150 years old. Argyros Estate cultivates and vinifies only the indigenous varieties of Santorini, such as Assyrtiko, Athiri, Aidani, Mandilaria, Mavrathiro, Mavrotragano and Voudomato.
