Kretikos White
Ref: A400805
Vin de Pays de Crète, Macedonia, Greece

An intensely fruity white packed full of tropical fruit flavours.

John Boutaris and Son was founded in Naoussa in northern Greece in 1879, by an enterprising wine and tsipouro merchant, Yannis Boutaris. In 1906, the Boutaris built their Zafiraki Street winery in Naoussa, and started to concentrate on quality Greek regional wines. The two brothers, Yannis and Constantine, who are in charge of the business today, joined the firm in 1965 and started a programme of modernisation and experimentation with the planting of a 'model' (trial) vineyard in Yanncohori, expanding into regional winery investment by building state-of-the-art wineries on Santorini, Crete, and the historic Bamiadaki estate near Archannes. The Boutari research development is headed by Adelaide graduate Dr Vassilis Marinos and it offers up-to-date, day to day back up and support to the team of growers who supply grapes to the firm. The skill of the Boutaris is to incorporate a high degree of modern wine-making techniques whilst maintaining the individuality and regionality of each of their wines, continuing to use indigenous grape varieties.

Kretikos White is derived form Vilana, Thrapsathiri (try saying that after a couple of glasses) and Athiri grapes which are grown on 13 year old vines. Crystal clear, brilliant, soft white with intense aromas of citrus, pineapple, peach and grapefruit that lead to a full flavour that lingers with an aromatic finish.
