If we could say a few things about Christos Ayvalis, they would be that he is an explosive, exuberant, and perfectionist to the point of obsession. His goal is perfect wines and there is only one way to reach them. It's the dedication and control over even the smallest detail that will ultimately make the difference. As utopian as this may sound, know that he is one of the few winemakers who have almost reached perfection. His wines are among the most iconic in the Nemea region and examples for many to emulate.
After Agiorgitiko, Assyrtiko, and other international red varieties, the time has come to break the barrier of difficulty in growing Viognier, the noble Rhône variety that makes some of the best and most expensive white wines. As he says, Viognier is not difficult to vinify, but you have to find the best for it in the vineyard and then everything is simple. And he found it! He set it free without taming it and it gave him its most valuable elements. But then it was treated in the best way since a part of it was vinified in a stainless steel tank using the sur lie method for 4 months, while the rest fermented in a French new barrel for 25 days. The combination gave explosive aromas of apricot jam and unimaginable complexity.
Careful care with much effort gave an exuberant result. Les Larmes de L'Ange means "the tear of the angel". Now whether he shed tears from the thrill of the result or the difficulty during cultivation, it doesn't matter anymore. The result vindicated them all, terrestrial and non-terrestrial, and gave a completely different dimension to the expression of the variety that will remain unforgettable.
Viognier Les Larmes de L'Ange from Aivalis Winery, is an aristocratic lady adorned with all her jewels and fine perfumes, who entered the living room and walked the catwalk, with 15-point heels, but finally walked the carpet and did all heads turn! Its price is equally challenging!
