About Chalari
‘Chalari’ meaning ‘relaxed’ in Greek was started by Alexi Christidis 2017 in the little Perth Hills suburb of Roleystone with just two tonnes of premium Frankland River Riesling. All made by hand in a tiny shed out the back, this wine made it onto the New Years Eve menu at the State Buildings in WA. This set Alex on his journey to where he is today.
With no family history in winemaking, the winery was built from the ground up. Scraping and scrapping for tanks and equipment, the constant innovating to make tools or equipment that we couldn't afford to buy, defines them as their brand.
