Why do we love it?
Viognier by Domaine Gerovassiliou is perhaps the best expression of the French variety in Greece. Elegant and at the same time exuberant, it enchants anyone who tastes it!
Vangelis Gerovassiliou in 1993, decided to plant Viognier in the vineyard of Epanomi, in collaboration with the Agricultural University of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Studying at Bordeaux left its mark on him and a soft spot for French varieties. Viognier is a grape variety from Rhone that is famous for its oily and delicate character and makes some of the best and most expensive white wines. Gerovassiliou followed the French protocol, so Viognier fermented and matured into new, oak, French barrels, on its fine lees. The result is rich and buttery and perfectly justifies the awards that it collects almost every year.
Taste Viognier by Ktima Gerovassiliou and you will understand what we mean!
