Liatiko:
One of the oldest red varieties
of Crete. The wine wrought from
this variety is of high alcholic volume,
a soft taste and fast ageing capabilities.

its strong aroma, and soft colour.
VINIFICATION
PROCESS
The grape is harvested by hand
between 20 and 30 of August.
The must undergoes a classic vinification for red wine, at 18°C -21°C.
Maceration is then applied for 12 to 15 days. This is followed by the separation of the grape marc from the fermented wine creating the final blend which is then left to mature for approximately 10 months in French oak barrels, and aged in the bottle for another 5 months.
