Pella has a lot of sun and fresh air, and Ktima Ligas’ vineyards are set on well-drained soils of loam and limestone. A vibrant ecosystem is also encouraged, including the preservation of the naturally occurring turf. This balance of nature with the needs of the growers means that vines are kept naturally healthy by their surroundings, and little intervention or treatment is needed. The grapes are handpicked between mid-August and late September.

The Ligas family farms indigenous varietals (like Assyrtiko and Xinomavaro) using organic practices with the principles of permaculture and regenerative agriculture woven in. They make many different cuvées, experimenting with different fermentation vessels like large-format oak and clay amphorae, and each one is exciting and unique unto itself.
