Semeli Wines was founded in 1979. The company owns an estate in northern Attica in the foothills of Mount Penteli. It was in this area that, according to Greek mythology, Dionysos the God of wine first taught man the cultivation of the vine and introduced the culture of wine to the Greeks.

It is certainly accepted that the area was well known to the ancient Greeks for producing high quality wines and the remains of the theatre of Dionysos can still be visited today. In honour of this association the first wines were given the name of "Semeli", Dionysos' mother. People of Semeli carefully select the grape varieties for their vineyards-located on slopes- where the microclimate contributes to a slow and very good ripening. The vineyards are under the EC Control System for Organic Farming, so they ensure that the received grapes are of supreme quality. The grape variety is in harmony with the soil, the location of the vineyard and the local climatic conditions. The vines are also disease resistant, give a good yield and produce the best quality wine possible. So with a few words,'great' wines occur in the vineyard.
