Hatzinikolaou Winery
Intro
The Family Winery Hatzinikolaou was established in 2013 in Messaria, Kos, as a continuation of the vision of Greek-Australian Anthony Hatzinikolaou, who revived the nearly extinct variety Mavrothyliko ('Black Lady'). After his untimely death in an accident during planting, the project was continued by his wife Petronela Ticu and his son Steve Jaqvaar, keeping alive the dream of a quality winery rooted in the island's tradition.
Estate
The winery is located at the 6th km of the Kos–Kefalos provincial road, in Messaria, just a few minutes outside the town of Kos.
Vineyards
The grapes are dry-farmed (without irrigation), carefully harvested, and vinified with minimal intervention, using indigenous yeasts and low doses of sulfites. The range includes international and local varieties: Ruby Red Cabernet Sauvignon, Ruby Red Merlot, Ruby Red Syrah, Black Lady (Mavrothyliko), Platanaki, Asfendiano, Chorafa. All labels are bottled with natural corks, in 375 ml and 750 ml bottles.
Tourism
