Coming Up
Abraam's Vineyards is where Kostas Kapourgas works today, in a role defined by method rather than spectacle. The work sits between vineyard and cellar, with tradition carried through controlled handling and a style built on patience.
Where They Are Now
Orange wine at Abraam's Vineyards comes from organically grown vines and hand-harvested grapes, with Kapourgas keeping the process close to the fruit from the start. The grapes are picked by hand, then fermentation takes place in amphora, using native yeasts. That sequence gives the wines their texture and shape through vessel, skin contact, and time, rather than through anything forced. The wines are described by rich aromas, impressive body, earthy notes, and a harmonious, elegant, velvety profile. In practical terms, that points to wines that carry weight without losing line, and detail without excess. The amphora shape and the use of native yeasts help define that profile, while the organically grown fruit keeps the work tied to place.
Signature
Malagousia Amphora 2021 and M & Orange Amphora 2022 are the signature wines named for Kostas Kapourgas. Both keep to the same working language as the rest of the cellar at Abraam's Vineyards: orange wine, amphora, and the textural depth that comes with that method. The vintage year is part of the wines' identity, marking each bottling within the line of work.
Honors
The recognition attached to Kapourgas is the specialty itself: Amphora-made Malagousia / Malagouzia orange wines from Abraam's Vineyards. That focus gives the work a clear profile in a crowded field. It is measured by consistency, by a defined grape expression, and by the complexity that comes from holding to a single style with care.
