Description
| General comments: | The Viognier Domaine Gerovassiliou is a wine made with skill and imagination. Fermentation in barrel adds to this natural variety of impressive aroma depth and exuberance. The sensation in the nose and mouth is fascinating. A special white wine for those looking for something different. Rich, aromatic on many levels, with nice acidity and a good finish. |

| Characteristics: | The floral variety of Viognier was initially planted in the estate in 1993 under the supervision of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The vinification starts with skin contact followed by barrel fermentation in French oak. Finally, the wine matures on its lees to enhance the rich creaminess and mouthfeel. Intense gold in colour, it exhibits a fragrance of peaches, pears, and smoky accents to the finish. It should drink well young yet last for several more years. |

Optimal serving temperature 10-12°C. |
