Ancient Groves: The History of Myrtia
Published February 2026 • 4 min read
Executive Summary
- / The Myrtia estate has been home to Koroneiki groves for generations, with some trees dating back over 150 years.
- / Our name, Myrtia, honors the wild myrtle that grows naturally between the ancient olive rows.
- / Traditional hand-harvesting methods are still used today to protect the integrity of the centenarian trunks.
The history of Myrtia is written in the bark of our trees. Walking through the estate, one encounters centenarian trunks that have weathered over a century of Ionian winters. These ancient roots reach deep into the mineral-rich soil, drawing up the complexity that defines our Ekklisitsa collection.
We believe in a philosophy of 'gentle intervention.' By respecting the natural history of the land, we allow the wild myrtle and local herbs to coexist with the groves, a practice that contributes to the unique aromatic profile detailed in our culinary pairings. Every bottle is a liquid record of this Peloponnesian heritage.
