Harvest has begun on Santorini!
We are thrilled to post these photos, which arrived this morning, of harvest on Santorini. They were sent by Boutari’s Santorini enologist Ioanna Vamvakouri (see below).
Those are Athiri grapes above. And Aidani grapes below.
Ioanna will be sending us updates as harvest progresses. So stay tuned for more images and information.
Ioanna is one of three women winemakers who work for Boutari. She studied enology at the Bordeaux School of Enology and is one of a family of women winemakers who live and work on the island of Santorini.
Stay tuned!
