WHERE GENETICS MEET TRADITION:

LYKIA’S VINEYARD AS LIVING ARCHIVE

What Makes This Different?

In these carefully tended R&D vineyards, each row begins with a code — a provisional identity — until its vine proves worthy. Through years of observation, microvinification, and lab analysis, these unnamed grapes are either discarded or granted permanence: a name, a cuvée, a future.

20 hectares reserved for wild vine trials

  1. Each row begins with a provisional identity

  2. Vines undergo full-cycle study over 10 years

  3. Only genetically distinct grapes are selected

  4. Microvinification starts with 10-bottle test runs

  5. Only 9 genotypes passed — so far
