Anniversary edition: Oenops celebrates its 10th anniversary. One grape variety, four vinifications, one pursuit of purity. Vidiano, Crete’s flagship white grape, shines here in a remarkable wine: refined, expressive and elegant, with a generous texture and a deliciously savoury character. It is sometimes compared to Viognier, but that hardly does it justice: Vidiano has a voice of its own.
The “Dots family” brings together single-varietal wines made from indigenous Greek grape varieties. Its name comes from the distinctive dotted label, where the name of the grape is revealed. Exceptional terroirs, low-intervention viticulture and winemaking: a collection created to express the character of each grape with purity and authenticity.

Tasting Notes
Lemon-yellow colour. Complex nose of white flowers, stone fruit, lime, aromatic herbs and a touch of lemon thyme, underpinned by a mineral character. On the palate, the wine is generous and creamy, with lovely depth, lively acidity bringing freshness and tension, and delicate saline notes. Long, persistent and elegant finish.

Vinification
The grapes come from contract growers, mainly from high-altitude vineyards in the Heraklion region of Crete. After being chilled to 5°C, they are carefully sorted and then whole-cluster pressed in a vertical press. Spontaneous fermentation takes place slowly in four types of vessels: clay amphorae, concrete tanks, large 600 L barrels and stainless-steel tanks. The wine is aged for 6 to 9 months, mainly in amphorae and concrete tanks, with a small proportion aged in old large barrels, in order to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the grape variety. The wine is then bottled unfiltered.
