Mikra Thira Experience

Mikra Thira is the first winery built on Therassia, a small island with raw beauty. It is located in the Cyclades right across Santorini of which it got detached by the great volcanic eruption of the 17th century BC. Special in its own right, Therassia possesses its own microclimate. The terroir of Therassia shares similarities with Santorini’s which has proven to guarantee the quality of some of Greece’s most authentic wines. The volcanic soil, the ungrafted vines and the relentless winds that blow across this very arid terrain constitute a unique terroir. At the same time, the traditional ‘kouloura’ or wreath-like basket-shaped vine pruning method that is applied on both islands is considered unique in the world.
