Drink now or hold it for 5 years. No need to decant. The Ktima Gerovassiliou winery was born in 1981, from the idea of Vangelis Gerovassiliou to revive the family vineyard by planting local grapes including the almost extinct Malagousia and other international grapes. At Ktima Gerovassiliou, the vineyards are treated with enormous attention, and the newest modern technologies are combined with tradition through viticulture and winemaking to produce high-quality wines that reflect all the distinctive characteristics of the Epanomi terroir. The Viognier vines, planted in 1993 and managed in an ecologically sustainable manner, are located a few kilometers from the sea. Here the soils are mainly sandy and rich in marine fossils, while the climate is Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot summers. The grapes undergo a period of maceration on the skins at a low temperature to facilitate the extraction of aromas. Fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, and the wine is then aged on the lees to enhance its rich creaminess and structure. Ktima Gerovassiliou Viognier is a fragrant and very expressive wine with aromas of stone fruit and exotic fruit, peach and pear, and delicate floral hints of jasmine. In the mouth, the wine is elegant and has good structure, with a subtle smokey accent on the finish and a persistent and pleasant aftertaste. Try it with shrimps, crab, or lobster.
