The prevalent conditions of the microclimate are quite particular. The altitude begins at 105 and reaches 140 metres. The temperatures are lower than those of the surrounding islands of the Cycladic Islands, rainfall is rare and winds blow at a great speed. For this reason, the plants are pruned low, in the shape of a basket. The grapes are grown in the center, and are thus protected from the strong winds. They absorb and maintain humidity from the dense night fog. The soil is sandy, of volcanic nature, and covered with scoria, lava and pumice stone. These particular to the area conditions result in a relatively limited production, early ripening and good hygiene conditions for the grapes.
