This refined, single-vineyard Chardonnay from the high-altitude Amyndeon region of northern Greece could easily be from one of the better sites in Burgundy's Chassagne-Montrachet. It shows complex citrus and white flower aromas, alongside nuances of brioche, toasted bread and vanilla. The rich aromatic character and the balanced, beautifully-textured palate make for a delicious wine to enjoy now, or to develop with age for 6-7 years. The execution is impeccable – really masterfully done.

Winemaking
The grapes are picked at a high level of ripeness. Once at the winery, the fruit passes through a stage of pre-fermentation cold soak, a process that helps the extraction of more aromatic compounds from the skins and contributes to the creation of intensely wines. After settling, the must is inoculated with selected yeasts for the onset of fermentation, which is carried out in new 228-lt oak barrels. This type of barrel, used in Burgundy, is suitable for highlighting the special character of the Chardonnay from the Palpo vineyard. After the end of the fermentation, the wine remains in the barrels to mature for 8 months. The frequent batonnage applied during the whole maturation period helps to shape the rich character of the final wine.
