When we say Greek, oaky Chardonnay, the first thing that immediately comes to mind is definitely the unique Chardonnay Domaine Katsaros, from Krania, Olympus! The French oak in combination with its sharp acidity and unparalleled elegance are reminiscent of Burgundy and of course, every year it sells crazy-fast!
Katsaros family has been making wines based on classic, French standards, since the early '80s. Dimitris Katsaros handed over the reins of the winery to his son, Euripides, in 2007. Since then, the brilliant course of the estate continues, and every year their wines, apart from distinctions, gain more and more fanatic fans worldwide.
Chardonnay Domaine Katsaros is one of the most sought after white wines in Greece since every year it is sold out a few months after its release. The reason? Its balance, typicity, and finesse! The vineyards are located at an altitude of 530 - 640 meters contributing to its crisp and lemony acidity. Maturation in French oak barrels for 5-6 months adds volume, oiliness, and complexity. The result of all the above is a rich, buttery, and balanced Chardonnay, with excellent aging potential.
Chardonnay Domaine Katsaros is an incredible Greek white wine, that does not scare with its price, so now that you have the opportunity, get your hands on as many bottles as you can! When will you find it again?
