Max’s Chardonnay 2018

“Dessert wine is special and should be treated as such!Dried apricots, raisins, toasted, roasted coffee grains.

This is not the fortified Italian Vin Santo – but a blend of indigenous white grapes Assyrtiko and Aidani. These overripe grapes undergo a stint of drying in the sun, then are aged in oak casks for 16 years in Hatzidakis’ cellars. Haridimos Hatzidakis in his heyday was arguably one of the fathers of modern Greek viniculture, but since his shocking passing in late summer 2017, his children have taken over the winery. Drink this with strong cheeses, sticky toffee pudding, or just by itself.”

When I was child, the first things that I heard about Australia were like “This country is a jungle!”, “There are a lot of dangerous insects and animals!”, and so on.

Ok, this wine of course is a “jungle”, but of sensations and funny things: citrusy even full, mineral even woody, so, a jungle!

Drinking it while listening this amazing song, I think is one of the most relaxing and energizing (of course, at the same time!) things to do in the evening, after your day, man!

More then, it is the perfect bottle to open at a rock festival, because of its screw-cap closure!

Welcome to the Jungle, baby!
