About the Winery
Oenops
Founded in 2015, Oenops, meaning ‘wine face’, is a pioneering project whose mastermind is the talented winemaker Nikos Karatzas. Following the micro-négociant system, Oenops aims to produce high quality, great value wines. Rather than owning vineyards, the company sources grapes from selected plots across Greece’s best terroirs, with a focus on cool-climate sites and old vines of indigenous varieties.
At the core of the company’s philosophy is the close partnership with ambitious growers who share a same sustainability-focused approach. Oenops mission is to source great fruit and craft wines that fully express its quality and sense of time and place. By using simple methods, led by the profile of the grapes rather than by any winemaking protocols, the company has built a range of authentic, fruit-forward wines that bring out the best of each variety, terroir and style.
The team tastes meticulously and tailors its approach to each plot and variety, based on the core philosophy and ethos. By vinifying each plot and variety separately the team has grown an understanding of the specificity of each vineyard and of the work done each year, in turn allowing for improvement in each vintage.
A repertoire of indigenous grape varieties, such as Malagousia, Assyrtiko, Vidiano, Roditis, Xinomavro, Limniona, and Mavroudi, is expressed through different styles of Greek varietal wines and in labels that have gained widespread recognition, among consumers and critics alike.
What the team at Oenops strives for is, ultimately, to produce tasteful, elegant wines that work as perfect companions to every meal and special occasion.

90 points - John Szabo, MS
Lovely, fresh aromatics lead off the top, a sort of straight-from-the-vat freshness and fruitiness, with the floral and stone fruit, peach/apricot notes of malagouzia on full display, allied to the firm acids and structure of assyrtiko. Flavour intensity and density is very impressive in the price category, as is length - this is serious, and enjoyable wine, another 5-star value. Tasted March 2025.

This is an intriguing blend of three white grape varieties – malagousia, vidiano, and assyrtiko. It is aromatic and engaging, with notes of plush stone fruit and ripe orchard fruit. The fruit flavours are radiantly clear here which I find very appealing, while the palate has an enticingly glossy texture, supported by crisp acidity. Assyrtiko leaves its mark on the finish, which is long and zesty. Tasted March 2025.
