Founded in 1986 by George Skouras, Domaine Skouras is a pioneering estate in the Peloponnese and one of the leading forces in modern Greek wine. A native of Argos who studied oenology in Dijon, Skouras brought Burgundian technique and vision back to Greece, establishing a reputation for precision and terroir-driven wines. His flagship bottling from Nemea, the heartland of Agiorgitiko, highlights the grape’s supple fruit, structure, and ageworthy elegance at high-altitude sites.
