100% Thrapsathiri. (THRAHP-sah-THEE-ree) Pale golden lemon color, with an expressive nose of citrus blossom, white peach, and apricot, lifted by hints of honeysuckle, orange zest, and subtle floral herbs typical of the variety. On the palate, it is dry yet vibrant, offering bright primary flavors of lemon, tangerine, and ripe orchard fruits, layered with secondary notes of toasted almond, subtle spice, and a delicate minerality that speaks to Crete’s volcanic soils. Medium-light in body with crisp acidity and gentle texture, the wine shows harmonious integration of fruit and floral elements, evolving into a lingering finish with impressions of citrus peel, white flowers, and a touch of honeyed nuance. Balanced, elegant, and approachable, this is a refined expression of Crete’s indigenous variety, perfect for highlighting both freshness and complexity.

Food Pairing: Excellent with grilled seafood, light pasta or risotto, herb-roasted chicken, Cretan cheeses, and fresh salads with citrus or aromatic herbs.
