Chatzivaritis estate focuses on the Greek varieties of Xinomavro, Negoska, Roditis and Assyrtico, and also cultures the popular Sauvignon Blanc , Merlot , Chardonnay  and Cabernet Sauvignon in smaller surfaces .

In 2007 , a wonderful “boutique” winery was built in the vineyard of Filyria

Local storytelling says that the indigenous Greek varieties of the Xinomavro and the Negroska from which the P.D.O.  Goumenissa Chatzivaritis is produced, was the wine of choice of Philip, the King of Macedonia, father of Alexander the Great. Further to this, legend also has it that great quantities of wine from the region were transferred during the 1^st World War to France because it was so exquisite.

Their story is far less grandiose. But it is a story made out of long summer Mediterranean-style family gatherings, endless late night discussions intoxicated by the love for winemaking and a wine that speaks for itself.
