Winemaker Notes
Pale golden color. Peach and apricot aromas are dominant and quince traces. There are floral notes of chamomile, jasmine and herbs. Rich flavor with the same dominant aromas. On the palate well-balanced acidity, full-bodied with a fine finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Douloufakis 2023 Vidiano has a hint of ashy mineral on first nose, and it takes a minute or two before you get to honeydew melon and Golden Delicious apple. The wine is lean-bodied for the most part, but it does have a good amount of fruit weight and concentration that adds to its subtle power. It finishes dry with mid-weight intensity.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
As one of Greece’s largest island’s, its wines enjoyed high glory during the Middle Ages. Today Crete is full of ambitious winemakers with the city of Heraklion as its viticultural hub.
