Founded in 1993 on the hills south of Vatolakkos in Chania, this winery produces wines under the name NOSTOS, which means "homecoming" in Greek, reflecting founder Theodoros Manousakis's dream of returning to his homeland. The vineyard sits at altitudes between 320-600 meters on the approach to the White Mountains, and their label features three flowers called "manousakia" in Crete, each named after one of the founder's children.
