Terroir
Natural factors
- The production zone's vineyard lies in almost the centre of the island of Paros, south-east of Parikia and north-west of Lefkes, at elevations ranging from 400 to 600 metres.
- The soil of the Thapsana area is stony and composed of granites, calcareous rocks (marbles), gneisses, and micas.
- The area also contains manganese, which the people of Paros exploited until 1960 in the mines of Thapsana.
- The microclimate of the area is characterised as temperate Mediterranean, with mean temperatures nonetheless lower than those of the rest of the island owing to the elevation.
- Because of this microclimate, the harvest in the area is late relative to other lowland and coastal areas of Paros.
