Experience the essence of Crete with Nostos Organic Grenache, a vibrant dry red wine crafted by the renowned Manousakis Winery. Nestled in the foothills of the Lefka Ori Mountains, this wine reflects the spirit of the island’s rich natural heritage.

A Taste of Crete’s Wild Beauty

Over centuries, the Lefka Ori Mountains have absorbed the fragrances of Crete’s native herbs—rosemary, thyme, sage, lavender, and chamomile. These wild scents infuse the vines cultivated by Manousakis Winery, where organic farming and traditional techniques create wines that echo the island’s unique terroir.
