Voi Vignes is the project of natural winemaker Jason Ligas, who has a strong presence in the natural wine scene of Greece. He started out working alongside his father Thomas Ligas and sister Melia in their family vineyards, Domaine Ligas. Since then he has worked all over Greece involved in various projects on Samos and Tinos – acting as a consultant and partner with other natural winemakers. Voi is his latest project and is located in a patchwork of vineyards by Mount Olympus.

“I’m a winemaker in the north of Greece. Voï is my new project and the most important for me right now. But it won’t be my last. It’s in vineyards by Mount Olympus. The older winemakers did not want to continue their work here, so I have rented some of those vineyards. I’ve started with four hectares but I’m looking for more. My goal is to have ten hectares. It’s an old appellation called Rapsani with three red grape varieties: xinomavro roto, stravroto and krassato.

When I’m in my vineyard I’m the happiest man on the earth because of all the energy I take from the nature. It is very impressive. It is very deep. ‘Voï’ means a roar. It’s like a voice that’s come from underneath the sea and earth. In Greek, it means help. But it’s also the roar from the guts, from the heart, from the soul.”
