Douloufakis Sparkling: Methode Traditionnelle for Vidiano

Located at the southern edge of Greece, the island of Crete (the largest and most populous of the Greek islands and 5^th largest island in the Mediterranean) has risen in wine quality over the last decade. Excitement comes mainly from whites planted at high altitude slopes while reds are catching up fast.  

Vidiano is the undisputed star variety with its lovely discretely perfumed wines leading the way to what may be considered as the modern era of Cretan wine. It expresses a Viognier - like character with a dense core of apricot fruit and a satiny texture, yet there is a lot of crispiness and vivacity.
