Falatados Part 2: #ThatCrazyFrenchMan in Domaine de Kalathas

In Emerging Greek Terroirs I discussed Falatados in Tinos island describing the rocky landscape and the unique energy of the place. Archives indicate that cultivation existed there since the archaic era while more recently there was declaration of vine cultivation in Falatados dating back to the late 19th century. T-Oinos winery has been noted as the game changer in the island founding in 2002 a garage winery and producing wines of purity and precision. Fresh blood is following making the island a new wine destination.

First there is Jerome Binda who I call #ThatCrazyFrenchMan that has invested the last 5 years of his life in creating something unique and extraordinary in Kalathas, just few kilometres from Falatados. His work in progress is Domaine de Kalathas, has no web page, no Facebook and no Τwitter account. He has though an Instagram account and I bet he uses a phone as well. Second is Volacus winery also in Falatados who is producing so far a lovely Malagousia and plans to produce an Assyrtiko for vintage 2016 as well.
