A new and very different wine is being added to the Hadzidakis Winery. A wine special in its preparation and at the same time strongly emotionally charged. It’s Santorini Skitali. The last winemaking of Haridimos Hatzidakis with which he handed the “baton” to the next generation. Medium deep straw color. Relatively “shy” nose with strong minerality (chalk), grapefruit, glue notes and unripe apricots. Moderate to full body with very high acidity and medium durability, mineral aftertaste. It will improve in the next 2-3 years, gaining balance and roundness.

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.
