Chardonnay Aivalis Winery is an amazing Greek Chardonnay for the lovers of the French grape variety. Rich, buttery, and as spicy as needed is the perfect companion for pasta with creamy sauces and fatty grilled fish. It has pale lemon color and with green and elegant nose with aromas of vanilla cream, pear, peach jam, citron, bergamot, butter, honey, and toasted brioche. Hints of flowers like honeysuckle complete the impressive bouquet. Medium-bodied palate, with balanced acidity. Oily and spicy, with the character of the oak barrel (nutmeg, ginger, vanilla, smoke, toast) being present but very nicely integrated into the wine. Butter, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, honeysuckle and dried nuts fill up the palate in every sip. When the perfectionist and absolute Greek terroirist Christos gives the reins to Sotiris, you would not normally know what to expect. Uncertainty, anxiety about the result, change. Sotiris, of course, is anything but a random choice. The transition may sound almost natural because he is his son, but on the other hand, Sotiris has studied in Burgundy, the mother of all Chardonnay. Their Mecca. And in Chardonnay Aivalis Winery he has applied literally the experience he gained from Burgundy.
