THE SAMIAN WINE.
INTRODUCTION.
SCENT OF GREECE.
" ... He filled his cup to the top with Samian wine ".
Lord Byron.
The history of Samian wines has the intoxicating scent of tradition, the ancient
myths and the history of Samos. Famous Greeks, Byzantines, Turkish rulers as well as
Europeans - French and Germans - honoured the Samian wines with their choice and expanded
the exporting capability of the island. Famous personalities such as Hippocrates, Galinos,
Theophrastos, Lord Byron etc. even the ship wreck of Kyrenia have spread the fame of the
Samian wines all over the world. Since the end of the 19th century, Samos has the privilege
from the Catholic Church for the production of wine for the Holy Service. The same privilege
that EOSS has today.
The Samos wines are the first greek wines recognized as O.P.E. and for over a century
they are the best ambassadors of the greek winemaking. This is confirmed by the international
prizes and medals they receive - 1st Prize in the 9th European Forum of Vines and Wines. This
is mainly confirmed by the acceptance of thousands of Greeks and Europeans who have supported
the Samos wines with their choice.
