MInimus (PGI- Slopes of Paiko), Assyrtiko, Domaine Chatzivaritis, Goumenissa, Greece, 2021

Producer Profile

Domaine Chatzivaritis is an 18-hectare estate in Goumenissa, focusing on traditional Greek varieties (Xinomavro, Negoska, Roditis, Malagousia, Muscat and Assyrtico).

Daughter Chloi took over from parents Vagelis and Olga in 2017, having studied oenology in France and Portugal (and worked in Chile and New Zealand), bringing with her passion and experience for low intervention wines and new wine making techniques. The estate now follows environmentally conscious philosophies, aimed at a low-interventionist approach to obtain the best quality of grapes, while preserving soil fertility.
