Crete in a glass — wild herbs, stone, and quiet beauty.
Vidiano is the soul of modern Cretan white wine.
Once nearly forgotten, this indigenous variety has made a powerful comeback in the last two decades, winning over winemakers and sommeliers with its texture, complexity, and unmistakable sense of place.
Native to the hills of Rethymno, Vidiano is often called the “white diva” of Crete — not for flamboyance, but for its quiet depth.
In the glass, it reveals notes of apricot, wild herbs, stone fruit, and a subtle saline minerality, often supported by a creamy mid-palate and excellent aging potential.
The place behind the grape
Crete, Greece’s largest island, is the historic home of Vidiano, a white grape variety that has re-emerged in recent decades as one of the island’s most promising treasures.
Grown in the warm Mediterranean climate and influenced by mountain breezes, Vidiano develops rich texture, elegant aromas, and a balanced freshness.
This is where the story of Vidiano begins.
