Allwinestories the exclusive media partner for Greek Wineries, in Greece, presents Estates Costa Lazaridi in Greek Wine Day 2025.
In the heart of Northern Greece, on the blessed land of Drama, Estates Costa Lazaridi stands as a timeless symbol of passion, excellence, and the pursuit of perfection in the art of winemaking and distillation.
The story began in 1979, when visionary winemaker Costa Lazaridis planted the first linear vineyard in the area of Xiropotamos, introducing varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Assyrtiko. This daring act marked the beginning of a new era for Drama’s viticulture and laid the foundation for a proud legacy that continues to flourish today.
The estate’s vineyards now extend across 28 hectares in four distinct locations — Adriani, Kali Vrysi, Katafyto, and Platania — each blessed with its own unique microclimate and soil composition. These diverse terroirs impart depth, balance, and complexity to the wines, revealing the multifaceted character of the region.
The winery, together with its underground aging cellars and distillery, spans over 15,000 square meters — a space where tradition harmoniously intertwines with innovation. Within its serene vaults rest more than 800 French oak barrels, where select wines mature gracefully, gaining structure, character, and soul. In the adjacent distillery, refined spirits are crafted with equal dedication, marrying advanced techniques with age-old craftsmanship.
At the heart of the estate lies a simple yet profound philosophy: true quality begins in the vineyard. Every vine is nurtured through the principles of integrated management (Agro 2-1 / 2-2), ensuring that each grape reflects the purity of the land and the harmony of its natural rhythm. The result is a collection of wines that embody the elegance, strength, and authenticity of Drama’s terroir.
The winemaking artistry of Estates Costa Lazaridi is expressed through four distinguished families: Amethystos, Château Julia, Domaine Costa Lazaridi, and Oenotria Land — complemented by the exclusive Oenodea range for international markets. From graceful whites and full-bodied reds to sparkling wines and exceptional distillates, each label tells a unique story of craftsmanship and origin.
Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in this world through guided tours, curated tastings, and visits to the Wine Museum at Oenotria Land in Attica — a cultural haven dedicated to the history and beauty of Greek wine. Nearby, the Attica vineyards, overlooking the tranquil Lake Marathon, have been organically cultivated since 2005, continuing the estate’s commitment to sustainable excellence.
More than a winery, Estates Costa Lazaridi is a living expression of the eternal dialogue between land, climate, tradition, and innovation. Each bottle is a promise — to capture the spirit of Drama, to honor the artistry of its people, and to share with the world the refined elegance of contemporary Greek winemaking.
