Deep rooted in Mesogaia wine tradition
Anastasia Fragou Winery is a family-run estate located in Eastern Attica, based in Rafina. Its history begins in the mid-1980s, when Konstantinos Fragkos decided to bottle wine from the family’s privately owned vineyards. In 1999, his daughter Anastasia Fragou, together with her husband Dionysis, took over and further developed the venture, establishing a small-scale yet fully equipped winery.
Anastasia, with a background in economics, and Dionysis, an agronomist by profession, brought fresh ideas and modern techniques to the winemaking process, while maintaining the character of traditional viticulture in the Mesogeia region. With the local variety Savatiano at the core of their production, their aim has been to showcase its qualities through both single-varietal and blended wines, placing particular emphasis on typicity and expression of the local terroir.
Today, the estate cultivates approximately 14 hectares of vineyards in the areas of Rafina, Spata, and Pikermi. The plantings include both indigenous and international grape varieties:
- White: Savatiano, Malagousia
- Red: Agiorgitiko, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon
The oldest Savatiano vines date back to the 1950s, while newer plantings follow modern viticultural practices with minimal intervention. The region’s microclimate—shaped by the nearby sea, just 1.5 km from the winery—contributes to the freshness and balance that characterize the wines.
The winery operates as a “garage winery,” equipped with small-scale modern machinery. Annual production is limited (approximately 40,000 bottles), allowing for meticulous handling of each batch. The winemaking approach emphasizes low intervention and the preservation of varietal character.
The winery regularly participates in wine exhibitions and presentations with the goal of strengthening the presence of Attica’s vineyard. Anastasia Fragou is a founding member of the “Wines of Athens” initiative and an active member of ENOAA (Association of Vine Growers and Winemakers of Eastern Attica), supporting collaboration among local producers and the development of wine tourism in the region.
