Estate Manolesakis

Greek cool-climate whites from Drama's Chardonnay and native Malagouzia.

Estate Manolesakis produces wines in Drama, a northern Greek region within Macedonia known for cool-climate viticulture. The winery works with both international and indigenous varieties, drawing on the distinctive terroir of this mountainous appellation. Its Chardonnay—a wine of structure and precision—reflects the region's capacity for white wine complexity. The Malagouzia, made from Greece's native white variety, showcases the aromatic and mineral character that has made this grape central to the country's modern wine identity. Both wines have been assessed by major international critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, and Decanter, positioning the estate within serious wine discourse. Drama's cool nights and continental climate create conditions suited to wines of balance and aging potential, qualities evident in Estate Manolesakis's core offerings.
