Ancient Greek Wines Helession... More than really Organic (BIO) Wines... More than No Sulphite Added (NSA) Wines... Akratos and Kekrammenos Oenos Helession are: · With Ancient Greek patents for Wine · No added sulphites! Complete absence of chemicals! Unfiltered! · Multi-grade wine ( 0° to 15° degrees ) The ancient Greeks had invented a brilliant, natural method to preserve and enjoy wine. This excludes the use of any chemical and/or toxic additives. The unique outcome was a high strength "concentrated" product of vines which they called "Akratos Oenos". During their symposia though, they used to drink an amalgamation of Akratos Oenos with spring water or ice. So they prepared the wine strength according to their mood. The effect was long lasting. They could join the philosophical debates for hours with bright minds and high spirits concurrently! The HELESSION, as one of the rightful heirs of this legacy of wine making, studying the techniques of our ancestors and exploiting current advanced technology, has revived the genuine Ancient Greek Wine. HEDYLLI is a complementary product (water extract from grapes pulp), originated from the same grapes that produced "Akratos Oenos". The Akratos Oenos of HELESSION mixed with HEDYLLI creates Wine. We have thus an excellent innovative product, the "Wines of Helession" with a registered patent. Akratos Oenos (fermented grapes pulp)+ Hedylli (water from grapes)= Wine The "Akratos Oenos" of HELESSION is a natural, organic (BIO), red winemaking. Part of the Mediterranean diet and the French paradox. It does not include any added sulphites, preservatives, chemicals or any other kind of additives. It is not being filtered and no sediment can be observed! HELESSION is a quasi homemade wine of mature taste, rich in fruit aromas. It is a mixed product of traditional varieties Agiorgitiko, Roditis and Savvatiano cultivated for thousands of years in Greek land. The specific selected grapes are exclusively of organic (BIO) agriculture. All of our vineyards thrive, free of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They are deeply rooted, thus all substances from mother earth are readily accessible (). HEDYLLI on the other hand, does not contain alcohol, calories or chemical preservatives. It contains aromas of grape and it retains its acidity but without the nutrients (organic matter) which alter over time. HEDYLLI is the ideal "water" for the Akratos Oenos but it can also prove a unique drink for children and athletes. Thousands of years after the celebrated meetings of ancient philosophers and eminent men, we are able to enjoy the gift of the vine, in the same formula and with the purity of untouched nature. At last! Again, genuine Ancient Greek Wine! Be a part of the ritual... The wines of HELESSION are: · Organic wine with no added sulphites or other additives, no sediment, unfiltered! · Full of OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), resveratrol and all grapes’ micronutrients! · Multi-grade (from 0° to 15°). For all seasons! For the whole family! For all races! Even for those intolerant to sulphites! · Traditional and bottled! · Genuine Ancient Greek! The HELESSION operation centres (wineries?) are situated in Athens, Thebes and Lamia. We keep creating wine types which consist a qualitative leap in the future!
