Wine

For many years, Spiro's family have lived at Pelekas beach, on the west coast of Corfu.

Producing grapes and wine has always been a passion for the family.

In years gone by, Spiro's mother, could be seen riding her donkey to her vineyards daily, nuturing and caring for the vines and producing fine home made wine for the family.

Fast forward to 2006 and once again, after a few years of producing grapes, Spiro produced the first "Sunrock" home produced wine.

This is a real family event, with everyone helping out to make the wine a celebrated activity.

Naturally, the grapes are produced organically on the Sunrock hostel farm. Once the grapes reach maturity, they are picked and transferred to the hostel producing room.

From here, the grapes are pressed using special equipment....the days of treading grapes with the feet have gone!

The grapes are placed in a presser and squeezed to obtain the juice. The juice is then placed into casks for maturing.

Over a period of months, the wine ferments, until it reaches it's optimum. This is usually around the end of January.

Once the wine is ready for consumption, a big celebration is planned, in a day when Spiro samples and shares the rewards of his hard work and passion for continuing a treasured family tradition.

The home produced Sunrock wine is available from our bar - subject to availability!
