i. Biography
Her work is rooted in the cellar and in the vineyard landscape of Nemea, where craft is not an abstraction but part of the day’s actual labor. For Evangelia Palivou, winemaking is a practice built on patience, observation, and a close reading of place. Her own words are plain about the commitment: “I love this job and I feel it as a part of myself!”
Coming Up
Today, Evangelia Palivou is the winemaker and oenologist of Palivou Estate. The role sits between vineyard rhythm and cellar precision, asking for both instinct and technical control. In Nemea, that means work shaped by repetition, detail, and respect for what each season brings.
Where They Are Now
At Palivou Estate, she holds the role of winemaker/oenologist. The title signals the two sides of the craft: oenology on one hand, winemaking on the other, both carried through the same work. Her connection to the estate runs with her connection to the surrounding landscape, giving her practice a direct, daily footing in Nemea.
Signature
Evangelia's signature wines include Ammos Terra Leone 2022 and Ammos Terra Leone 2023. Those vintages mark continuity in the work, showing how a single line can hold across different years while still answering to each season. In that sense, the names function as evidence of practice: steady, attentive, and tied to the conditions of the cellar and vineyard.
In Their Words “I don’t really remember if I ever wanted to do something else in my life!” The line points to a long-held closeness to the work, where the craft was never a diversion from life but part of its structure. “I love this job and I feel it as a part of myself!” That attachment runs through : the cellar, the vineyard context of Nemea, and the daily discipline of making wine are not separate from who she is, but part of the same practice.
