Grapes come from vineyards across the Macedonia region in northern Greece. The climate is continental with hot summers and mild to cold winters. Cool breezes from the mountains slow ripening in the higher vineyards. There is a risk of hail during the growing season. Vines are between 5 and 20 years old. Soils are limestone based with schist and granite sub-soils.

Grapes are macerated for 18 days and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with indigenous yeasts, takes between one and two months. The wine is then transferred to 500-litre old oak barrels. It undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages for four months before bottling without fining or filtration.
