Hatzimichalis Estate Chardonnay (75cl)

Hatzimichalis Estate Chardonnay is an unoaked white wine from the Atalanti Valley in Greece, made entirely from Chardonnay. It comes from the Houlevena Vineyard, where limestone and clay soils give a mineral backbone, and is fermented and aged without oak. The estate was founded by Dimitris Hatzimichalis, who planted vines in the Atalanti Valley during the 1970s. On the nose there are ripe white peach, tropical fruit, citrus peel and pear, with a subtle buttery spice note. The palate brings citrus, orange, green apple, sea salt and graphite-like minerality, with a silky texture. The finish is long, with lingering citrus and a faint saline quality.
