Wine Description/Philosophy
We chose this particular variety because it is extremely important to encourage the cultivation of native grape variety and notably the one of a truly local Cretan variety. It was re-discovered quite recently and since then there are a lot of Cretan brands of Vidiano variety in the market. Since 2007, our winery has started to plant Vidiano. Its potential and features made us invest our hopes in it. We are feeling very proud of ourselves that we had been given the chance to contribute in the revival of such an important Cretan grape variety in its substantial debut in the world of wine.
Vinification
Classic white vinification at low temperature (16oC). A three months maturation of the wine on its fine lees is undergone and then wine is ready to bottling.

Youthful appearance with a slightly green tinge and a moderately intense pale straw color. Very fresh nose. With hints of fresh grapes, more white flesh fruit such as, quince, pear, citrus and fresh almond. Excellent acidity, velvety texture and noticeable aftertaste.
