The wine region of Peza
Crete's most productive PDO (~70% of Cretan wine, Heraklion district, centre-north, vineyards above 300 m up to 800 m, calcisoils of dense clay to sandy loam preserving depth freshness, Mediterranean with hot summers and mild rainy winters). Kotsifali (75%) and Mandilaria (25%) are the autochthonous signature reds in the blended appellation — pale aromatic Kotsifali with fine tannins rounds out the rustic colourful tannicity of Mandilaria. 100% Vilana for whites.
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: Sorting
Action which consists in removing the bad grains, not ripe or affected by the rot. We often use vibrating sorting tables which, by shaking, make the impurities fall to the ground. In the case of sweet wines, we speak of harvesting by successive selections, in several passages, to select the very ripe grapes each time.
