The wine region of Heraklion
Viticultural heart of Crete (Greece) accounting for two thirds of Cretan vineyards, Aegean sea breezes tempering warm nights. Vidiano is the signature white king, a native variety in full renaissance: ample and textured with apricot, melon, peach, white flowers and honey touch, compared to Viognier. Fresh, citrusy Vilana as an aperitif white. Soft and fruity Kotsifali (red cherry, herbs), colourful and tannic Mandilaria in reds (blended).
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: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
