Description
Founded in 1994 by Vagelis Chatzivaritis, the Chatzivaritis Estate is located in the heart of Goumenissa, Macedonia, Greece.
The winery spans 20 hectares of organically farmed vineyards across the regions of Bindabla, Filyria, Plagia, Pentalofos, and Griva.
The estate cultivates indigenous Greek grape varieties such as Xinomavro, Negoska, Roditis, Malagousia, Muscat, and Assyrtiko, while also growing small plots of international varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
In 2017, Vagelis’ daughter Chloi returned to Greece after studying winemaking in France and Portugal. She brought with her a modern, low-intervention philosophy, introducing natural winemaking techniques, including pétillant naturel and carbonic maceration.
This is a lovely light but expressive white wine with hints of citrus and beautiful quince. Boasting a lovely acidity and underlying minerality on the finish.
This makes a wonderful aperitif, but is equally delicious with salads, grilled fish, and meze platters.
