2024 Douloufakis Dafnios Vidiano

If you're an adventurous soul, you'll delight in this new find from a place of real antiquity. Vidiano is a rare white grape from the island of Crete, offering up a stylish, textural white with depth.

Like other white grapes revived from near extinction (think Arneis, Viognier), Vidiano is a tricky variety that doesn't produce big crops. But dedicated organic growers like Douloufakis sensitively ferment and age in stainless steel to maintain bright fruit and freshness.

Fleshy with yellow pear, honeysuckle florals and lovely lemon zestiness, if you're into comparisons, it's a little like Pinot Gris with a touch more flair.

You'll love this distinctive white with the bold spice and smoke of barbecued seafood.
