The Estate – A Family Winemaking Heritage Since 1932

Located near Kalamata in the beautiful region of Messinia, Astir X traces its winemaking roots to 1932, when the Xygkoros family established a small wine press. Over successive generations, the family developed the business into a modern winery, combining traditional knowledge with advanced production facilities.

Today, the winery works closely with 88 local grape growers, overseeing approximately 80 hectares of carefully selected vineyards. Its facilities include temperature-controlled fermentation tanks, French oak ageing barrels and a dedicated micro-winery where limited-edition wines and innovative blends are developed.

The Winemakers – Three Generations of Family Passion

Astir X is driven by brothers Vangelis and Stathis Xygkoros, who grew up surrounded by the vineyards and winemaking traditions established by their grandfather and father.
