- Malvasia di Candia Aromatica
Vinification & Aging
Grapes were harvested by hand. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures to preserve freshness. Wine is racked off of the lees and put back into stainless steel tanks.
The wine spends a short time in stainless steel tanks then bottled fresh.
Ecosystems
The privately owned vineyards are located on hillsides with clayey-loam textured soil, high percentage of limestone and are 20 hectares. Nikos Douloufakis’ choice was to invest in local varieties such as Liatiko, Vidiano, and Malvasia dI Candia Aromatica, giving prominence to the potential of wines from Cretan varieties.
Tasting Notes
Light golden color, followed by an attractive aroma. The enchanting aroma is reminiscent of lemon blossom, jasmine and some exotic fruits like passion fruit or mango. Dry flavor with refreshing acidity. Pleasant and long-lasting aftertaste.
