It is common knowledge that the mountain Aigialeia gives excellent quality Chardonnay. It is no coincidence that big names in the wine business cooperate with winegrowers of the region and eliminate all available quantities of the precious grapes.
There, in a majestic landscape, the steep slopes of the hill Rira Arravonitsas over the Nerantzies village of Aigialeia, Chardonnay is cultivated by Rira Vineyards.
This is one of our favorite Chardonnay.
Why we love it?
Chardonnay loves oak. This is why the wine remained in French oak barrels for 14 months to gain even more volume and density.
Under the supervision of the famous and veteran oenologist Panos Zoumboulis, it gave a delicate wine with great balance and finesse that great wines of its kind would envy.
The 2021 vintage has just been released and it's riveting.
