In the world of wine, “natural wine” is more than a trend – it’s a return to the roots. At Afianes Wines in Ikaria, natural winemaking is not a marketing tactic, but a philosophy deeply rooted in our land and traditions.
What is Natural Wine?
Natural wine is made with minimal human intervention. That means no added sulfites, no cultured yeasts, and no filtration that strips the wine of its character. At our winery, we use local Ikarian grape varieties grown organically and vinified with full respect for nature’s rhythms.
Taste with Identity
Natural wines are alive – vibrant, unpredictable, and full of personality. They evolve in the glass and express their terroir: the microclimate, soil, and soul of the place they come from. Every sip is a unique experience, grounded in authenticity.
Health and Honesty
Many wine lovers turn to natural wines for health reasons – fewer additives, fewer interventions. But beyond that, natural wine is an honest choice. It’s unmasked, genuine, and reflective of the land – just like Ikaria itself.
Why Afianes Wines?
At Afianes, natural wine is a result of three generations of winemakers combining tradition with sustainability. We invite you to taste it – not just as a drink, but as a way of life.
