Vangelis Chatzivaritis planted his first
vineyard in 1994 and started making wine as
a hobby, in order to escape the hard routine
of being an electrical engineer. As it almost
always happens in these cases, wine
becomes a great love and absorbs you
totally. So, that happened to Vangelis, too.
His daughter, Chloe, has now returned to the
winery from her studies in France, and
together they continue to make the wines
they love to drink. Their Goumenissa consists
of the classic blend Xinomavro (70%) and
Negoska (30%). After the long maceration, it
matures in old oak barrels for about 18
months. The result shows the unique
characteristics of the two varieties and the
special terroir of Filiria. Rich aromas of ripe
red fruit with plum and cherry standing out.
Hints of tomato paste and spicy sense of
vanilla, clove, red and black pepper
complement the beautiful and distinctive
aromatic bouquet.
