Category: PGI Drama
Varietal composition: Chardonnay
Characteristics: Idysma Drios Chardonnay has written its own history as one of the top Greek Chardonnays. The raw material comes from vineyards in Mikrochori and Kali Vrisi, areas with cold winters and refreshing northerly winds in summer.
Vinification: Pre-fermentation cryo-extraction so that the aromas of the grapes are transferred from the skins to the must. Fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks and on the seventh day the must and lees are divided proportionally into 225 liter French oak barrels. Fermentation is completed in barrels and then the manual bâtonnage method (stirring the noble lees in barrels) is applied for approximately 6 months, a method that gives the wine volume, density and a creamy feel.
Served at: 12°C. Idysma Drios Chardonnay is a rich wine that will match dishes with a correspondingly rich character. It will highlight its virtues next to dishes such as chicken ala crème, mussels with mustard sauce, fried schnitzel, French quiche and wonderful salmon tarts. A salmon fillet stewed with vodka and all kinds of risotto will be an ideal match for the wine. The wine also works ideally with rustic dishes of exuberance such as moussaka, while it will always compensate us next to fine fish fillets and white meats.
It is susceptible to aging.
