The story of the vines behind Pure started at least back in the early 19th, possibly in the late 18th century, since it is impossibly to retrieve the precise year of planting. These very old plants, surviving through ages and ownerships, could not have been in better hands today.

Two Pure Vineyards

Only two, highly individual parcels are used. They are located in Pyrgos and Megalochori. Matthaios, before starting the VSV project, has been working with these vineyards for more than two decades. He earmarked them for several reasons: the vines were more than 200 years old, they have been farmed organically for practically their entire life spans, they displayed remarkable consistency across vintages while providing the exact fruit maturity required for making Pure. Finally, the size of the vineyards was appropriate in order to be accommodated by the capacity of the VSV winery.
