WHITE VARIETIES

Vilana

The island’s white star, Vilana, makes an appearance in the PDO Peza or Sitia wines with its fascinating fine aroma, its light taste and its refreshing lemon -scented acidity.

Vidiano

Unique apricot aroma, rich body, transfixing creamy taste. These elements make Vidiano the rising diva of the Cretan vineyard and justify its qualifying as Greece’s Viogner!

Thrapsathiri

A variety grown everywhere in Crete, offering balanced wines, rich in flavor. This is where the white PDO Sitia wines draw their taste from.

Plito

ΑYet another variety recently saved from extinction, Plyto completes the mosaic of Cretan aromas and tastes with its refreshing acidity, its exotic fruit scent and its lightness.

Dafni

The various aromas of Dafni suggest the well- known plant dafni (laurel), hence its name. Quite a remarkable variety, whose scarcity is matched by the rarity of its taste character.

Muscat of Spina

This clone of Muscat is a small-grape treasure.

Malvazia

This special clone of the aromatic Malvazia has returned to the fore, offering a real scented bouquet to both sweet and dry wines of the island.

Melissaki

Bright yellow-greenish color with intense herbal and honey scents in a lemony background. Round mouth sense with remarkably dense texture and citrus aftertaste. This is a remarkable experimental wine based on the forgotten grape variety Melissaki that is scattered in old vineyards at the foothills of Psiloritis.

ROSE VARIETIES

Kotsifali Mantilari

Soft and mellow, full of plum fragrances, the fleshy Kotsifali can be described as the Cretan equivalent of Merlot. Jointly responsible for the wonderful PDO Peza and Archanes wines.

Liatiko

Excellent red variety which may be lacking in color, but offers unique sweetness and character. The mind-blowing sweet and dry PDO Sitia and Dafnes wines are indisputable proof.
