This year DIGENAKIS has made a further step into winemaking, producing high quality wines from the widely known varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Moschofilero and Aigiorgitiko.

The eight-year old presence of DIGENAKIS in the production of wine and olive oil was of great importance for the Cretan products. The creation of a major distribution network throughout Crete and the rest of Greece, the fixed policy, the absolute concentration on quality and the love towards Cretan products resulted in a steady development and a constant rise in sales.

DIGENAKIS is a member of the CETAVITA group - nature and tradition of Crete - as well as of the FRIENDS OF WINE AND VINEYARD association.
