About | Skouras Winery was started in 1986 in Pyrgela, Argos by Burgundy-trained oenologist George Skouras. Working with both indigenous varieties as well as international varieties, Skouras started producing very high quality Greek wines in the late 1980’s. The first bottling of the Megas Oenos, his flagship wine launched in 1988 was the first wine in Greece to blend the native Aghiorghitiko with Cabernet Sauvignon. Nemea has been regarded as a great winemaking region since the time of the ancient Greeks; Homer called this region Ampeloessa which literally means “Full of vines”. Recent archeological excavations have revealed winemaking being done here over 3500 years ago
