The wine region of Chania
Cretan sub-region in the west of the island around Chania, dominated by the Lefka Ori (White Mountains), the coolest zone of Crete, calcareous and schistous soils. Vidiano is the signature indigenous white: generous and aromatic with apricot, yellow peach, citrus, white flowers, honey and a mineral touch — the Cretan equivalent of Viognier. Lively, crunchy Vilana (citrus, herbs) as white. Versatile indigenous Romeiko, fruity spiced Kotsifali and Syrah as Mediterranean reds.
The wine region of Crete
Largest Greek island and 2nd national wine region, millennia-old Minoan heritage. Signature native Vidiano in whites, rediscovered jewel: ample, expressive with signature apricot, yellow peach, white flowers, honey, tropical fruit and a mineral touch, round and long palate. Also fresh lemony Vilana, rare Plyto and Thrapsathiri. Liatiko reds (most planted) supple with cherry, dried herbs and spice; fruity Kotsifali, tannic Mandilari.
The word of the wine: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
