... read moreVilana: This is 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, creamy taste; these elements make Vidiano the rising diva of the Cretan vineyard.
Dafni: Dafni’s special aromas bring to mind the well-known plant dafni (laurel), hence its name. Quite a remarkable variety with tasteful character.
Thrapsathiri: A variety grown everywhere in Crete, offering balanced wines, rich in flavor. This is where the white PDO Sitia wines take their particular taste from.
Kotsifali: 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 an indisputable proof.
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.
Mantilari: Wild and untamed like the Cretan land and its people, Mantilari is considered to be the king of native red varieties. This is where the PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) Peza and Arhanes- Syrah belong.
Muscat of Spina: This clone of Muscat is a small-grape treasure; its thin skin skyrockets its fine dry character.
Plyto: Yet another variety recently saved from extinction; Plyto completes the mosaic of Cretan aromas and tastes with its refreshing acidity, its lemon scent and lightness.
Romeiko: A particularly resistant variety which gives lively red wines with high alcohol content, average acidity and variable color – due to the distinctive variegated grapes growing on the numerous branches of the plant. The traditional wine Marouvas, which resembles sherry, is made out of this variety.
Cabernet Sauvignon: The sun and the heat offer maturity and volume; this balances the strong tannins, but also give a Cretan twist, whether you enjoy it in varietal wines or blended with other international as well as native varieties.
Chardonnay: The local character of this variety can be offset through careful harvesting and modern winemaking in low temperatures, with no sacrifice in its vivacious flavor. Some of the island’s producers have been following this line while experimenting, mixing it with more lemony varieties.
Merlot: Its consumption may be easy; but its cultivation is very tricky. The island’s skilled wine producers, however, have found the solution to select heavy soils, high altitudes and cold vineyards. The result is a Cretan version, combining plum and herbal aromas with a warm and succulent flavor.
Sauvignon Blanc: The warm climate may extract some of the Sauvignon’s intense aromas, giving them body and soul, without taking away any of its zest and vivacity. Apart from its varietal wines, it also gives original blends when mixed with local varieties, aromatic or not.
Syrah: The love of the deep-colored Syrah for the warm Mediterranean climate is indisputable. So, neither its splendid acclimatization nor its excellent results from one end of the island to the other should come as a surprise. What is impressive, though, is how it blends perfectly with the island’s classic red varieties, producing wines with a Cretan character and a cosmopolitan feel.
Sangiovese: This variety has adjusted perfectly well to Cretan soil. Its high acidity provides freshness and an unexpected bite, while the mature aromas and the voluminous flavor in the mouth complete the profile of the Cretan Sangiovese, which combines equally scrumptious doses of richness and refinement.
