Douloufakis, Crete (Greece) Vidiano 2022

Feb 20, 2024

By Wayne Belding

 The Douloufakis Vidiano epitomizes the character of Mediterranean white wine for me.  It shows a classic style, with layering and depth that is sure to please your palate  The 2022 Vidiano provides a delicious introduction to this classic Greek grape. It is a pure and complex white that has remarkable richness and character for such an affordable wine.  While the wines of Crete are not well known, wines with this degree of character and finesse should increase the interest in the island’s produce.  The 2022 Douloufakis Vidiano offers a lovely bouquet of flowers, peach, passion fruit, citrus peel and spice.  The flavors are pure and exciting, with peach, tropical and lemon fruit flavors underlain by subtle honey, herb and spice tones.  It has lots of depth and nuance and will be a fine companion for a wide range of foods.  Try it yourself and enjoy.
