Description
Grape: Chardonnay
Idisma Drios Chardonnay has its own place as one of the leading Greek Chardonnays. Vinified in oak barrels, it is round, it features sweet aromas and richness, spreading across the tasting palette and impressing with its texture.
The grapes come from vineyards in Mikrochori and Kali Vrisi; both are regions that enjoy cold winters and refreshing north winds in summer.
Winemaking
Cold soaking of the skins prior to fermentation to transfer aroma components from the grapes to the must. Fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks and on the seventh day the wine with its fine lees is transferred to 225 liter French oak barrels. The fermentation is completed into the barrels while manual bâtonnage (stirring of the fine lees) is applied for about 6 months; a method that gives volume, density and creaminess to the wine.
