Tasting Notes

A glowing rosy-pink wine, with opulent strawberry and gooseberry fruit on the nose and hints of butter caramel aromas. On the palate it is rounded and its full-bodied intense fruit flavors are joined by juicy, crispy acidity, offering a refreshing long finish.

Vinification Details.

Co-vinification of the Kotsifali and Mandilaria with skin contacts for up to 14-16 hours.


Regional info.

Creta Olympias S.A. is the most dynamic commercial enterprise in Crete engaged in the production, bottling and selling of bottled quality wines.

The winemaking tradition of Crete dates back almost 4000 years ago to the celebrated Minoan Civilization. In fact it was on Crete near the village of Archanes that the oldest wine press in the world was discovered.The vineyards of Crete are planted on the northern part of the island, protected from the warm African winds by the mountains that crisscross the island from east to west. The unique Cretan ecosystem provides the ideal environment for the production of the AOC Archanes, Peza, Dafnes and Sitia wines in addition to several well made vins-de-pays.The most popular grapes are Vilana, Kotsifali, Mandelaria and Liatico as well as Chardonnay, Syrah and the hard to find Plyto, Dafni and Thrapsathiri varieties.

This blend comes from a selection of non-irrigated vineyards from the greater region of Peza and Archanes at an altitude over 300m.
