On the occasion of the International Day of Limniona, Christos Zafeirakis stated:
"Limniona is a native variety of the Tyrnavos region with a recorded history that now exceeds 150 years. The first historical references to Limniona are recorded in 1870.
Throughout these years and despite the fact that the variety had fallen into obscurity for a long period of time, in 2007, at the Zafeirakis Estate, we took the strategic decision to proceed for the first time, to bottle a single varietal wine with Limniona. It was a conscious choice as this particular variety, has excellent characteristics and in combination with the terroir of the Tyrnavos region, gives excellent results.
This effort was crowned with great success, the wine was particularly loved by wine lovers, not only in Greece but also abroad, a fact that has pushed and is now pushing other producers to recognize the value and potential of the variety and to proceed with their own vinifications".
