Why do we love it?
We know that you have a soft spot for oaky Chardonnays and that is why we present you one of the best Greek ones, Roes Chardonnay by Oinotropai Winery. The rich and ripe stone fruit is uniquely combined with the spicy character of the barrel, composing a gastronomic white wine.
In 2010, Vassilis Kapopoulos decided to build his winery in Zevgolatio, Messenia. It is surrounded by 65 acres of vineyards where he cultivates both local and international varieties. Chardonnay was one of the first varieties planted by his father. The climate helps the grapes ripen perfectly and gives a tropical Chardonnay that loves oak. Part of the wine matures in American oak barrel for about 5 months while the rest matures in stainless steel tanks. This combination gives complexity but also balance to Roes Chardonnay by Oinotropai Winery.
If you are looking for a rich white wine to accompany your Carbonara, then you have just found it.
