In the spring of 2004 local Agronomist-Enologist Melina Tassou founded «Kikones», the first winery in Rhodopi in the far northeast corner of continental Greece. Melina brings extensive winemaking experience to the region, through her formal training from the Bordeaux Faculte d' enologie and vintage work across France and Australia.
In 2007 Kikones won a Gold medal for the Kikones Syrah 2004 Thrace during the Decanter World wine Awards 2007.
The winery is located 5 km from Komotini (Department of Thrace) and covers an area of 600 m2, with climate controlled vinification rooms, barrel aging and automated bottling processes. With a particular focus on wine quality assurance, all machinery and processes employed in the production of Kikones wines engage both traditional and modern winemaking techniques.
