Here’s Chatziioannou winery philosophy ⤵️

Chatziioannou Winery is targeting primarily on the production of wines of superior quality. Based on the high quality of organic grapes we have the ability to vinify avoiding to implement industrial protocols, thus basing our philosophy of vinification to “Nature makes it Better”. The production and the selection of grapes is based on carefully selected vineyards owned by the winery.

The minimum age of these vineyards is 20 years, and all of them are anhydrous. Paying our deepest respect to mother nature all vineyards are cultivated under certified organic rules and the winemaking techniques are in complete accordance with the above stated philosophy. Concluding, it is important to mention that in order to secure high standards of quality, the annual number of bottles produced is confirmed and numbered.

If work isn’t fun, your not playing on the right team!

Dry Red, Protected Geographical Indication Velvento.

Varieties

Xinomavro, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon.

Vinification

Each variety is vinified separately in a “classic” way. After the end of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the wines are transferred in oak barrels for a year, during which they are racked and blended according to their evolution.

Description

Deep ruby color, complex aroma that combines spicy notes with mature and dried red fruits like red current and cassis. Ripe dried red currants and cassis on the palate, full-bodied, with ripe and integrated tannins, excellent balance with an aromatic and lingering aftertaste at the end.
