The Zapris family arrived in Australia from Greece almost 65 years ago. They left behind not only treasured heirlooms but a strong family tradition of winemaking. At the time, John, the youngest son at age 13, promised his father, Evangelos, that whatever uncertainties awaited them in their new homeland, that one day they would own another vineyard and winemaking would again continue, just as it had in Drimos.
John Zapris established Sir Paz Estate in the Yarra Valley in 1997. Sadly, it was 5 years after Evangelos had passed away.
However, a family tradition had been restored, and a promise, over half a century old, was fulfilled.
