From the land of Smilia,
to the table at Merastri
Our hospitality is deeply rooted. Quite literally.
Our Olive Oil
Smilies Olive Groves: The true expression of exceptional extra virgin olive oil.
At Merastri, olive oil is more than an ingredient — it is the essence of every dish. Sourced exclusively from the Koroneiki variety cultivated on our estate and cold-pressed using traditional methods, it offers exceptionally low acidity and vibrant aromas of freshly cut grass and green apple, delivering the true purity of Crete directly to your plate.
Limited Harvest & Scientific Excellence We prioritize quality, crafting an olive oil rich in antioxidants and depth. Smilies Olive Groves produce exclusively high-phenolic olive oil, a distinction certified by the University of Athens following thorough analysis, confirming its exceptional nutritional value.
Our Wine
Merastri Estate: A Blend of History & Character. Our wine is born from a deep passion for winemaking. In every glass, the local heritage of Kotsifali harmoniously meets the bold character of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Guided by the philosophy of natural winemaking and minimal intervention, we have crafted a full-bodied wine with elegant spicy notes, thoughtfully designed to pair perfectly with our kitchen’s culinary creations.
Philosophy: Respect for the environment, dedication in craftsmanship, and authenticity in every flavor.
