In 1924, Kostas Semertzidis, the grandfather of winemaker Iordanis Michaelidis, leaves Asia Minor as a refugee and starts making wine in Kyrgia, Drama. The small family-owned winery begins to grow when Simos Michaelidis takes over and expands the Lagotopos vineyard in 1970, while laying a foundation towards the innovation of the production. The third generation, expressed through Iordanis Michaelidis, takes over in 2004 aiming at developing an advanced winery and producing high quality wines that combine current winemaking processes together with local tradition, in the best way possible. It is then when the first labels of the Domaine, Anthaleia and Melachro, are introduced.
