Chatzivaritis Estate is a family-owned winery located in Goumenissa. Chloi, the daughter of founders Vangelis and Olga, studied enology in France and Portugal and worked in various international wineries, including a natural winery in Faugeres and Chateau Margaux. When she returned to Greece in 2017, she brought with her a passion and experience for low-intervention wines. She immediately began making a new range of natural and organic wines and transforming the family estate to deeper organic, and soon-to-be biodynamic, practices.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Emphasizing the quality of the grapes, soil fertility and environmental protection organic farming was chosen since the first ever plantation. Expansion of the vineyard was inevitable, and it was done gradually by planting parcels in the area of Filyria. The climate in the region is continental with plenty of rainfall in winter and hot, dry summer with cool nights. In 2007, a wonderful “boutique” winery was built in the parcel of Filyria. The production started with the well-known PDO Goumenissa wine which quickly developed into an emblematic wine for the region and was distinguished for its elegance. Over the next 10 years, the range of wines grew, and the winery began to produce other red, white, and rosé wines.
