The son of Spanoudogiorgis, Manolis Stylianoudakis (b. 1889-d. 1939), left for the USA to work in the mines.A few years later, he returned and took over his ancestral vineyards, starting his wine trading business. His first Italian wine barrel (ca. 1500 L capacity) was rolled uphill through 7 kms of fields with his bear hands. His death came as an accident during harvest season: trying to push the loaded with grapes wagon uphill, the horse drawing the wagon slipped and the entire load smashed onto his chest. His death due to internal bleeding occurred within three days at the age of 50, leaving his two sons, Panagos and Giorgos, to continue his vision. During his lifetime, Manolis took on the nickname “Patriotis” (i.e.”the one who deeply loves his country’) which has been passed down to future generations ever since.

Panagos Stylianoudakis (b. 1910-d.1997) or Patriotopanagos, as was his nickname being the son of Patriotis, joined the family business of wine production and trading with a grocery store set in Vouves. In 1940, a year after his father’s death, he left for the World War II , already having three children (Stelios, Manolis, Marika) from his marriage to Sofronia Stylianoudaki.

Defending the Greek borders from the Italian invasion in the mountains of Albania, he suffered from frostbite and was ambutated in both legs twice - first up to the ankles and later just below the knees. Panagos returned home, a war disabled person, and in 1945, after the war ended, he obtained the right to a cigarette monopoly in the café grocery store he already owned.

He officially put his wine and grocery store business together with his wife’s two brothers (Eftychis and Giorgos Mathioulakis). He had four more children (George, Christos, Despina, Nikos), and died in old age as a loving grandfather.

Stelios Stylianoudakis (b.1936 - d.2019) or Patriotostelios started working in wine production and trade with his father and uncles from a young age. He was the only one from the younger generation who was professionally involved with wine, and as he wanted to implement his own ideas, he decided to become independent. The others respected his decision, and he started almost from scratch with the help of his wife, Aspasia.

He managed to procure modern equipment at the time (continuous and discontinuous presses), and constructed cement tanks with a total capacity of 300 tons. Being hardworking and a visionary, he steadily and dynamically developed the business. His life revolved around the vineyard for the most part but he also served as an elected representative of the local community committed to improve the lives of his fellow countrymen.. He had three children (Irene, Sonia, and Panagiotis, the current owner) and died at the age of 84, an active vinegrower till the end.

Panagiotis Stylianoudakis, born in 1978, grew up surrounded by vineyards and inherited the passion and sincerity for winemaking from his father. After studying Oenology in Athens, and at the age of 22, he moved the old winery to a new building with updated oenological equipment. Panagiotis combined the scientific knowledge from his studies with the deep-rooted knowhow in winemaking and marked his own path.'

Panagiotis expanded the vineyard to include well acclimatized to our terroir international grape varieties, such as Syrah and Sauvignon blanc, and also indigeneous grape varieties, such as Assyrtiko and Avgoustiatis, with amazing potential in winemaking.
