"Nature is the real winemaker, man is her assistant." What happens when an entire family is passionate for nature? They abandon city life and move to countryside. This is the story of Kioutsoukis family (Dimitrios, Eleftheria and their children). Dimitrios Kioutsoukis  with his family assistance and inspiration planted 11 hectars of vines (mainly Greek grape varieties: Assyrtiko, Malagousia, Roditis, Xinomavro,Limnio,Muscat,Moschfilero) in northern Greece near Thessaloniki, an area well known from ancient times for its wines. Dimitrios (chemical engineer- UC Davis winemaking), his wife Elie, their daughter Stavroula ( agronomist- oenologist) and their sons Athanasius (mechanical engineer) and Apostolos(Agronomist) carrying on the family tradition and passionate about permaculture principles use more than organic  methods in viticulture and winemaking. Their main goal is to give birth to wines versatile, unique that express both their philosophy and the terroir. Seeking the real taste of  life they created the Kamara pure wines, low intervention wines (natural wines). All Kamara pure wines are naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts , have no oenological substances added and they are bottled without filtration and no added sulfites. The low hillside  along with the micro climate (a refreshing northern wind is present all year round), and the  different types of soil -from clay sand to lighter with small stones and schists- gives exquisite wines with excellent aging potentials. From the very beginning,  the  vineyards are exclusively treated with the  long-standing traditions, some of which have almost been forgotten.Manual pruning- hoeing - harvesting, use of herb sprays, such as nettle, yarrow etc, natural fertilization with compost and manure- newly planted vines shaped in basket crowns. The basic rule is doing as few treatments as possible, trying not to subvert the natural equilibrium. Using modern wine-making equipment, only to monitor and support (if necessary) the natural chemistry of the wine-making cycle, Kamara winery produces wines with a unique character that express the terroir without lowering the quality standards. From 2015 Dimitrios, seeking the real taste of life that he learned from his grandfather, took a step forward to natural wine making in a large scale production. “Nature is the real winemaker, man is her assistant” therefore the wines are produced following the traditional way, manipulated gently and slowly in order not to shock or spoil the wine’s character: no added yeasts, few or no rackings at all, wine matured on fine lees, light or no filtration, well-integrated wood, using only old barrels etc. The main goal is authentic vibrant wines in small productions, with the fewest possible interventions ,that express the terroir and the philosophy of the winemaker with a broad spectrum of flavors and a complex aromatic profile that evolves and changes constantly.
