This naturally sweet wine is made from the noble grape variety Muscat blanc à petit grain from Cephalonia. The vineyard is located at a place called Katogi in Palli, on a terroir of limestone marls. The development of this muscat follows the ancestral tradition of sweet Greek wines made from sun-dried grapes. The production is confidential, the noble grape expresses with great originality the terroir of Cephalonia. This wine combines the intensity of honey, caramel, apricot and ripe peach to a mineral freshness. On the palate, it shows great finesse, a very nice sweet taste, accompanied by a fine and pleasant acidity. It then opens on a slightly saline and mentholated touch.

Chatzidakis Winery was founded in 1997 by Haridimos and Konstantina Chatzidakis. In 1996 Constantine showed Haridimos the vineyard of her family, in the village of Pyrgos Kallistis, on the way to the monastery of Prophet Elias.
She was neglected because her parents (George & Catherine Chrysou) had left Santorini after the 1956 earthquake, where they settled in Athens. So from then until 1996 no one was cultivating this particular estate. Finally, Haridimos revived and cultivated it. Haridimos Hatzidakis was one of the Greek wine pioneers having the vision of the terroir authentic expression and the production of wines that would provoke exceptional feelings to those who were fortunate to try them. It was one of his achievements that he had enjoyed while he was alive. Trying different things than several local producers and with a touch of natural wine-making, he produced wines that in a short period of time became particularly popular in the market. Among them Santorini de Mylos, Cuvee 15 and Assyrtiko de Louros were recorded as exceptional Santorini wines. His daughters will continue his work and we expect new thrills from the new generation.
