Tsipouro is a ‘Protected Product of Origin’ meaning that it can only be authentically produced in Greece and only then in specifically designated areas by a select few. Tokali Winery-Distillery & Sons, one of those privileged licensed producers, have long known that superior tsipouro is only possible if the quality of its ingredients and high standards of the production process are maintained. To
this end, careful attention is given to tending the family owned vineyard to produce rich harvests of succulent grapes. Crucially, in compliance with stringent BIO Hellas and European ISO 22000 certification, only organic methods are used during the entire cultivation process. In other words, from grape to bottle, Tokali Tsipouro is a fully biologically certified product. The uniqueness of Tokali Tsipouro is also due to the fact that the fermentation and distillation processes are carried out entirely in accordance with traditional methods. Rather than use a time-saving modern approach, Tokali Tsipouro is distilled in especially hand-crafted copper stills (which, incidentally, are the only registered ones in Greece with names - 'Konstandinos' & 'Eleni' - and not numbers). The distillation technique itself is inimitable in that it is a manual operation which involves both effort and the expertise that can only be gained from family tradition. Additionally, unlike most other producers, the entire distillate is double-distilled to ensure an unrivalled smooth quality.
