The wine region of Kissamos
PGI of northwest Crete (Chania district, PGI 1990, the only PGI covering an entire Cretan zone; stony, draining soils and ideal coastal microclimate for Romeiko). Romeiko as the native flagship: a late-ripening, productive variety whose high-Baumé must yields reds, rosés and whites — and above all the traditional fortified Marouvas, aged in large barrels with an oxidative, madeirised character. Vilana, Athiri and Thrapsathiri as whites; Cabernet, Syrah, Grenache and Carignan as complements.
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: Late harvest
A name historically used in Alsace, late harvest refers to grapes harvested during over-ripening for the production of sweet and syrupy wines.
