Domaine Paterianakis Vidiano Organic Crete 2019

Other Whites  |  Greece

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Summer -- while we’d rather be chilling on a beach in Crete right now (looks amazing), this can fill the gap. Vidiano is a native Cretan variety, which was revived through the efforts of pioneering winemakers and grape growers on the island. The variety is gaining a broad reputation, as it is already being grown and vinified throughout Crete by almost all winemakers. Fun fact: Crete has the longest wine production history across Europe, with winemaking dating back over 4,000 years!

Paterianakis winery is one of the most respected producers on the island (3rd generation producer), who farms meticulously following organic practices. This bottle, as we said, just blew our socks off and immediately transported us to the shores of this majestic island. Citrus blossoms, lemon, manderin zest, yellow apple, star fruit, slate and salty ocean breeze aromas. The flavors are packed with loads of citrus (lemon, lime, kumquat), flowers, wet stone and the telltale minerality that makes Greek whites some of the most exciting on the planet. While it lasts...!

PAIRING IDEAS: It’s all about seafood, of course, but Vidiano is a cool one because it has acidity and a creamy mouthfeel, so we think scallops are utter perfection with it. You could do a crudo, which we love, or just do the screaming-hot pan sear with a simple butter sauce. Vidiano shines with veggies, too -- grill some zucchini!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Get your rave music on by the pool with a glass of Vidiano in hand! Play some Steve Angello, Greek DJ and producer, best known for his band, Swedish House Mafia.

About the Producer

Crete has the longest wine production history across Europe, over 4000 years! The vine growing in Crete is part of its lifestyle. Only when you visit this discrete island you are going to realize how distinctive is the domestic vinification for each household that holds over the years. We are a third generation family company, the first in the island of Crete who introduce the organic grape cultivation and one of the few wineries in Greece with a vertical organization of its production process! We cultivate six unique indigenous and five first class international varieties using the latest organic techniques, and we believe that we can inspire through a series of products with a strong personality. Fruity peach and apricot with a creamy palate and pleasant acidity.
