The unique Chardonnay from Domaine Katsaros has made history as the most famous Greek barreled version of the variety and if you have tried it, you may have the feeling on your palate right now. In a unique white wine, Stella Chardonnay makes the barrel presence even more resonant. Exuberant and complex, it is the most premium and rare version of Chardonnay from Olympus!
Katsaros family has made wines based on classic French standards since the early 80s. Dimitris Katsaros handed over the reins of the winery to his son, Evripides, in 2007, who has taken it upon himself to continue the glorious course of the estate, creating every year wines reminiscent of the exuberance of Burgundy and, apart from accolades, gaining more and more fanatical audiences.
Stella Chardonnay from Domaine Katsaros comes from organic vineyards aged 30 years, located at an altitude of 650 meters. The fermentation took place in French oak barrels, while the maturation that followed for 10 whole months, gave volume, oiliness, and balance. After bottling, the wine remained in the bottle for another 15 months before being released to the market, where it acquired additional complexity. The result is an exuberant white barrel wine, with crisp lemony acidity, in perfect balance with the vanilla aromas of oak. A very elegant version of Chardonnay that you will not be able to enjoy every year, since it will only be produced in the years when there will be ideal weather conditions for the perfect ripening of the grape.
The 2022 vintage was one of them, so in order not to miss this rare opportunity act wisely. Aging will reward it and you!
