2022 Douloufakis Dafnios Vidiano, Crete

Dáfnio”, comes from the name of the village, Dafnes. Classic white vinification with fermentation in stainless steel tanks, at a temperature of 18°C. There is no barrel usage in either fermentation or maturation.

An excellent wine made with 100% Vidiano grape; a very old Cretan grape variety which has been ignored for many years, but due to the arduous and persistent efforts of some inspired winemakers of Crete has come back to the foreground and has given high quality wines in recent years. White "Dafnios" is 100% unwooded.

Pale golden colour. Medium intensity aromas of yellow and citrus fruits, which are combined with a little more intense aromas of chamomile, jasmine and spices. Full and rich flavour presenting the tasting characteristics of apricot and flowers. Very pleasant, balanced acidity and fine finish.

You can cellar this wine up to 5 years. The fresh, fruity aromas morph into toasty nuts, honey, caramel over time.

Vidiano is one of Crete's top white varieties and Douloufakis is one of the producers responsible for its revival.
