Ktima Gerovassiliou Chardonnay from Epanomi, Macedonia, is a distinguished Greek white wine crafted with passion and precision. Produced by Ktima Gerovassiliou, a pioneering estate led by Evangelos Gerovassiliou, this Chardonnay benefits from the unique terroir of the Epanomi peninsula, where sandy, clay, and calcareous soils-rich in ancient sea fossils-meet gentle sea breezes from three directions. The low-yielding, hand-tended vineyards ensure meticulous care and sustainable practices, yielding grapes of superior quality. Fermentation and maturation in French oak barrels add depth and complexity, resulting in a wine that showcases the finest attributes of the Chardonnay grape.
