Good to Know: Bodegas Krontiras was founded in 2003, when Constantinos and Silvina Krontiras, amazed by the landscape's resemblance to Greece, decided to acquire an 80-year-old vineyard in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. The head winemaker is renowned Greek oenologist Panos Zouboulis, who got his degree in Bordeaux and has over 30 years of experience.
