Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Wine is bright with a pale yellow color. On the nose, the wine offers beautiful aromas of citrus, lemon and grapefruit. On the palate, the wine is fresh and elegant with aromas of almonds and citrus. Areti White offers a fantastic combination of freshness and purity.

Pair with fresh oysters, mariniere mussels, pan seared scallops, fish with lemon, olive oil and capers.

Professional Ratings

    Vassilis Tsaktarli set up this winery with Vangelis Gerovassiliou in 1998. Together, they now farm 120 acres of vines on the limestone and clay foothills of Mount Pangeon. This assyrtiko, vinified in stainless steel, is a savory, powerful white. There’s no real fruit to speak of; just salt, chalk and herbs, carried in a broad, oily texture that has an almost tannic grip. This is designed for the dinner table, to serve with a creamy salt cod dip, or something equally rich.

Biblia Chora, Greece
Biblia Chora Winery Image
The Biblia Chora Estate was established in 2001 by two well known winemakers, Vassilis Tsaktsarlis and Vangelis Gerovassiliou. The two combined their love for wine and their experience in creating good quality wines to develop a model organic vineyard of 35 hectares at the foot of Mount Pageo in Kokkinochori, Kavala. The area has a long history of grape-growing and winemaking. In antiquity, a grape variety known as “biblia ambelos” was cultivated here for wine production and the region has been named "Biblia Chora" for this reason.

The estate vineyards are at an altitude of 400 m, on infertile and rocky soil, and cultivation follows the principles of organic farming, with particular respect for the environment. Other vine-growing tasks (e.g. leaf thinning, harvest) are done using traditional methods and without the use of any particularly high-tech means. The modern winery is built in the middle of the vineyard and has an area of 5,500 m2. It includes areas for vinification, bottling, aging in both barrels and bottles, wine-tasting, reception and hospitality for visitors, as well as a multi-purpose hall (for conferences and presentations). All of the areas reveal the good taste and philosophy of the owners with regard to quality and high aesthetics related to wine.

These days, the Biblia Chora Estate produces 11 wines: Ktima Biblia Chora White, Ktima Biblia Chora Rosé, Ktima Biblia Chora Red, Ktima Biblia Chora Chardonnay, Ktima Biblia Chora Merlot, Ovilos White, Ovilos Rosé, Ovilos Red, Ktima Biblia Chora Sweet, Areti White and Areti Red.

A crisp white variety full of zippy acidity, Assyrtiko comes from the volcanic Greek island of Santorini but is grown increasingly wide throughout the country today. Assyrtiko’s popularity isn’t hard to explain: it retains its acid and mineral profile in a hot climate, stands alone or blends well with other grapes and can also withstand some age. Somm Secret—On the fairly barren, windswept Mediterranean island of Santorini, Assyrtiko vines must be cultivated in low baskets, pinned to the ground. The shape serves to preserve moisture and protect the growing grapes in its interior.

As one of the few continental-climate, mountainous growing areas of Greece, Macedonia produces notable, high-quality red wines. Xinomavro is its star variety, capable of making a spicy and age-worthy red.
