Domaine Ligas | Greek Wine
Domaine Ligas was created by Thomas Ligas, who has been experimenting in the vineyard and in winemaking since 1988. Now making natural wine under the leadership of daughter Meli Ligas, the domain is one of the most well known Natural Wine estates in all of Greece. The vines grow the valleys of Mount Paiko, in the old unknown terroir of Pella, 50 km from Thessaloniki in Northern Greece.
Popular wines include Roditis Barrique, Xi Ro, Assyrtiko Barrique, Le Rose and Patatrava.
Natural expression of regional grapes
Domaine Ligas is currently run by the domaine's daughter Mel Ligas, although popular producer Jason Ligas is also involved in some aspects when not working his own projects like Sous le Vegetal. They have used chemical-free farming since the 1990s and permaculture farming since 2007. This estate is famed for their terroir-driven, natural expressions of regional varieties like Assyrtiko and Roditis.
