Sxistolithos Chardonnay – Oenoi Adam is one of the few Greek Chardonnays made without barrel aging. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured on fine lees, it’s a juicy Chardonnay with rich fruit, slightly reminiscent of the New World style.
At the boutique winery Oenoi Adam, located in the village of the same name near Thessaloniki, they chose to cultivate the beloved white variety organically on the vineyard’s schist soils. Low yields and a careful, strict selection process form the foundation of Oenoi Adam’s Chardonnay.
With a modern and fresh approach, they avoided masking the variety’s aromas with oak, as is often done. Instead, they opted for light batonnage (stirring of the lees) for about 4 months to add body, creaminess, and complexity.
The combination of finesse, herbal notes, and rich tropical fruit makes this Chardonnay truly irresistible!
