VARIETIES

Μuscat of Spina:
This is one οf the most
revered local varieties, which has
been cultivated both here in Crete,
and also abroad for generations.
The clone of Muscat is a treasure
which bears small grapes, and its
name is derived from the area of
Spina, close to Chania. This variety
is famous for its explosive aroma
and the thin skin of the grape,
which gives the fine, pleasantly dry
character, to the wine it produces.

Vidiano:
A classic, indigenous and aromatic
variety with roots and origins
from Rethymno. A very distinctive
variety with a fine aroma, and a
light yellow-green hue. It renders

White Diva of the Island.

The Great Hawk:

found in abundance in the
surrounds of the winery,
in search of food.

by fending off predators and
thereby safe-guarding the grapes.

be the protector and teacher
of Jupiter at the Cave of
Idaion Antros: a cave very
close to the winery.
