Having a tradition of years from our great- great grandfather, it was customary for the production of the sweet wine from the Avgioustiatis variety to spread the of grapes under the sun for 7-10 days. In this way, we dry the grapes and we increase the sugar concentration. So, having the sun, as the first step in the production of this natural sweet wine, we gave it this name. “Ilios” means Sun and “Fos” means Light.
