VARIETY
Vidiano:
This historic, indigenous and
aromatic variety is the most valued
of the Cretan vineyard. This variety
with deep root in Rethymno is ideal
for vinification and may be
identified by its fine aroma, bright,
light yellow-green hues. It has a
balanced taste and is ideal for interesting experimentation with ageing in the barrel.
Vidiano is the most noted
variety of the Cretan vineyard and
has rightfully been awarded the
title of “white diva” of the Island.
VINIFICATION PROCESS
The grape is harvested by hand, between 10th and 20th September.
The grapes are selected from the vine with the greatest of care and the collection of the must is carried out with gentle pressure.
The must is decanted at a low temperature for a few hours and
the vinification commences at between 16°C-18°C. Half of the fermentation takes place in barrels. When the fermentation is completed the wine matures in the barrels for 5 more months and remains in contact with the lees for ten months.
ORGANOLEPTIC DESCRIPTION
Bright and soft colour with yellow-gold hue. Complex aroma of fruit (peach, apricot and pineapple), with the characteristic herbal aroma of this variety and vanilla notes that complete the bouquet of the wine.
It is creamy in the mouth with a fruity composition and a well-balanced acidity.
The aftertaste is intense and long-lasting.
To be served at 10°-12°C and is the perfect accompaniment to seafood, meat with white sauces, pasta and a wide assortment of cheese.
