Macedonia, GreeceVintage: 2021
Biblia Chora is one of the newest estates on the Greek scene. Evangelos Geravassiliou and Vassilis Tsaktsalis are two of the best white winemakers in Greece. The vineyards are based in Kavala, the second-largest city in the north of Greece, where the excellent soil and microclimate provide long growing seasons. They make cutting edge, world-class wines.
This 2021 is a blend of 50% Semillon and 50% Assyrtiko grapes. The distinctive and characteristic aromas of apricot and honey from the Semillon blend perfectly with the citrus and lemon notes from the Assyrtiko, with nuances of vanilla and nutty hints adding complexity. Elegant, with a creamy texture, this stylish wine is beautifully balanced by refreshing palate which leads to a long finish.
Located in the coastal region of Pangeon, Biblia Chora’s privately owned estate vineyard is situated at 380 metres altitude and extends over 78 hectares. With the striking Pangeon Mountain as the backdrop and the sea breeze coming from the Aegean Sea in front the estate, the vines thrive in this mild, Mediterranean climate which is characterised by mild winters and cool summers. The wide diurnal temperature range encourages a long, slow maturation of the grapes, concentrating the flavours in the berries. The vineyard is cultivated according to strict ecological agricultural standards in order to respect the environment and local flora and fauna.
Why we love it
Complex aromas of peach, grapefruit, minerals and vanilla anticipate a weighty, mineral palate – like an exotic, mineral Graves!
