DRAINAS WINERY
Winery in Nemea

A few words about us
The history of the estate begins in the mid-90s in the wider area of Nemea and specifically in the village of Leontio. The founder of the company is Ioannis Drainas who decided to take the big step and deal with the cultivation of the land and the production of wine, taking advantage of the family vineyards that are years behind. Created a modern winery in the area of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Nemea. A family winery in complete harmony with nature. Continuator of the project and now responsible for the business is his son Christos Drainas who deals with quality and modern winemaking.
The Estate has about 100 acres of privately owned vineyards which are located in mountainous Corinth at an altitude of 300 - 400 meters and at a distance of about 50 km from Corinth. The climate is Mediterranean, without heat waves, thanks to the altitude and the influence of the prevailing north and northeast winds. The good drainage of the soil, the abundant sunshine and the favorable microclimate ensure early ripening and excellent ripening of quality grapes with excellent composition of sugars, acids and aromas.
A climate with very cool nights and mildly hot days allows a long period of ripening of the grapes.
These conditions are ideal for the cultivation of our main production, Agiorgitiko but also for varieties such as Assyrtiko, Malagouzia and Roditis.
We have invested in mountain vineyards in the area and we still have faith in the soil that we cultivate with care, love and respect for the vineyards and the fruits that give us, passion and know-how to create unique wines.
