Popular since 8000 years. Amphorae keep the wine from moving during fermentation and the porous texture allows the wine to breathe. An ancient design that aged well.

Think of Amphoras and you’ll probably think about old school drinking vessels. Clay pots overflowing with red wine. Ancient Greece or Rome might spring to mind.

Amphoras are indeed one of the oldest ways of making wine. And thanks to a resurgence of traditional winemaking processes especially in the organic, biodynamic and natural wine movement, they have become incredibly popular as vessels for making or ageing wine among some of the best winemakers in the world.
