Orivatis Assyrtiko - Chardonnay from Akriotou Winery, is here to make it clear that the road to winemaking is uphill and difficult, but when you learn to climb it, it can become the most exciting route!
In 2018, Vasiliki Akriotou and Giorgos Kollias decided to make use of the family's abandoned vineyards, located at the foot of Kithairon, in the Plataes of Viotia, and to highlight the special characteristics and deliciousness of the Savvatiano variety. They followed other domestic and international varieties that suited the Theban land very well and created wines with a unique character and great value for money.
Orivatis Assyrtiko - Chardonnay is a very impressive blend of Assyrtiko and Chardonnay in equal proportion and unique balance. Each variety goes through a pre-fermentation extraction at a suitable temperature to enhance its fruity aromatic elements. Their coexistence, then in a common tank, with the lees for about 2 months and the gentle batonnage, give complexity and a fine buttery sensation, making it impressive.
Don't be intimidated by the exuberant characteristics of the two varieties. This marriage is irresistible and very comfortably entered the “everyday” category…
