Thyrsus is a giant fennel with a pine-cone on its top, decorated with ivy and vine leaves. It is reffered to in both the Greek and the Roman mythology as a wand carried by Dionysus, the god of pleasure and hedonism. Thyrsus was meant to be used as a walking stick and if necessecary as a defensive weapon.
Various shapes and sizes as it might take, both the greek and the roman sources agree on the underlying principles and values of Thyrsus as a symbol: Prosperity, fertility, joy and indulgence to all sorts of pleasures according to one's needs and desires.
THYRSUS is a one-man business run by Nasos Zafeiropoulos. Engineer by profession, bon-viveur by hobby, obtaining knowledge of the wine world came only naturally. A fascinating journey from the first sip of wine to setting up a business with a vision: To spot wines of unique quality and character and make them known to the wine lovers of the world!
The inventory of THYRSUS comprise wines of greek varieties as ancient as the region itself, some of which are cultivated exclusively by specialized wine makers in the province of their origin.
Either young and bold or mature, fine single-grape or high complexity blends, the wines offered by THYRSUS are all one-of-a-kind, products of the adventurous spirit of their creators. A living proof that a thousands-years-old wine-region has yet a fresh story to tell!
