Skytali from Hatzidaki Winery is a wine with an allegorical name, which moves us equally, both for the content and the story behind it. The miraculous terroir of Santorini and the inexhaustible talent bequeathed to the next generation closed in a bottle, a complex wine with enormous specific gravity.
Haridimos Hatzidakis was a huge wine genius, who touched the island's winemakers both in the soul and in the art of wine like no one else. Those lucky enough to work with him (or rather, to accompany him on the vine road) were introduced to his artistic approach to winemaking. His talent changed the logic of the most important zone of Greece and placed it on a completely different step of the podium than it was then.
A part of the wine, which was intended for a simple Santorini, remained in contact with the lees a little more than intended, due to the loss of Haridimos, with the result, however, in the end, of capturing the exact image he had of it, intense, rich and uniquely mineral. Its creation marked a new era for the winery and the passing of the baton to the new generation, to continue his work and bottle this wine in the same way ever since. Its stay for 12 months on the lees and another 12 in the bottle, has taken advantage of 100% of the terroir of the most special vineyards of the island, in Pyrgos and Megalochori, and has given a diamond result, intended for long aging and enjoyment.
If some Greek wines can and do make us very proud, this is one of them!
