Douloufakis Dafnios Vidiano 2022
* Across any 6 bottles of wine, when purchased in store.
An excellent wine made with 100% Vidiano grape. It is a very old Cretan grape which for many years was ignored, 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. The white "Dafnios" is produced with no barrel usage.
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.
Should be served at a temperature of 9-10°C; it would be a fine accompaniment to some fish, like sole, John Dory, grilled mackerel. It would also accompany pork with celery, the traditional Cretan pork with leeks, lamb "fricassée" with lettuce. Also, it would make an ideal companion to soup of chickpeas with lemon sauce or salad of boiled chickpeas with herbs.
