Oenops Wines is the visionary project started by dedicated oenologist Nikos Karatzas, founded in late 2015 in the historic winemaking region of Drama in Northern Greece - the land of Dionysus.

After gaining valuable experience with some of the area’s leading wineries, Nikos set out to discover old vineyards planted with indigenous Greek varieties across the country, forging close collaborations with passionate growers in exceptional terroirs.

The wines reflect both the character of each variety and its place of origin, blending the team’s expertise and meticulous approach with the growers’ deep connection to their land. By sourcing grapes from diverse plots and distinctive regions, Oenops Wines achieves fruit of outstanding quality and authenticity, remaining true to a shared passion for the vine and the earth.

Apla is a blend of Xinomavro, Limniona, and Mavroudi grapes sourced from select vineyards aged between 15 and 50 years. This is a perfect summer red, with a lifted aromatic profile of fresh cherry and wild strawberries, underpinned by gentle notes of fragrant Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is light and lively, with bright acidity complementing the crunchy red fruit flavours and sleek tannins that carry through to a satisfying, elegant finish.

Pairs well grilled meats, cold cuts and cheese and will be a great complement to any dish served with a spicy sauce.
