Rare wines, from singular places.
Very small-production wines from rare indigenous varieties, shaped by individually selected Cretan vineyards.
Every cuvée begins with an identified vineyard source, allowing variety, soil, altitude and microclimate to remain inseparable in the finished wine.
Explore the wines →Forgotten Cretan varieties are treated as living viticultural heritage.
Each wine is built from an identified site, not an anonymous regional blend.
Limited bottles preserve precision, traceability and the identity of each harvest.
Rare wines begin with rare places.
Θ{έρως} was founded in 2020 to revive and bring forward rare and forgotten Cretan varieties. The work begins in the vineyard: with old genetic material, low-yielding sites and places capable of expressing a distinct identity.
The collection follows a vineyard-specific philosophy. Every cuvée is traceable to an identified site; the relationship between variety, soil, altitude, exposure and microclimate is treated as the wine’s central architecture.
Low-intervention protocols and precise modern techniques protect freshness, depth and longevity. Very small production is not scarcity for its own sake—it is the scale required to work closely, transparently and without erasing origin.
A future for Plyto.
Once widespread across Crete, Plyto came close to extinction. Today only a few hectares remain. Our work follows six individual vineyards across distinct altitudes, soils and exposures, turning preservation into a long-term study of terroir.
