Tetramythos reads as "four myths" to any Greek speaker, but it’s the local name for the gortzia, the small bitter wild pear, which named a place above Ano Diakopto before it named a winery. The myths are up on Helmos instead, where the Styx rises. Winemaker and partner Panagiotis Papagiannopoulos remembers his grandmother as the only person who would eat the fruit, and only once it had gone soft enough to turn. He and the Spanos brothers, Aristides and Stathis, all natives of the village, founded Tetramythos in 1999 and rebuilt it by hand after a 2007 fire. Their north-facing vineyards climb the mountain's slopes to 1,050 meters, among the highest and coolest sites in Greece, with the breeze off the Corinthian Gulf adding another degree of freshness. Set on privileged limestone soils and using only free-run juice, Tetramythos offers a finesse and purity that are unexpected at this price level. The biodynamic Nature selections are so compelling that we have essentially adapted our range entirely to them.
