Diamantopetra White – Diamantakis Winery | Full, aromatic and characterful, from Crete
Diamantopetra White from Diamantakis Winery is an elegant, expressive white wine from the heart of Crete. This distinctive blend of Vidiano and Assyrtiko combines aromatic richness with fresh minerality. A modern Cretan wine that balances power and finesse perfectly.
Grapes & origin
A blend of Vidiano and Assyrtiko from high-altitude vineyards (400–500 m) in the interior of Crete, near Heraklion. The limestone soils and mountain climate give aromatic intensity and a fresh structure.
Vinification
The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected. Fermentation takes place at low temperature in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing on the fine lees (sur lie) to develop extra complexity and a round texture.
Tasting notes
Clear golden yellow. On the nose aromas of peach, apricot, citrus, white flowers and a subtle mineral touch. On the palate full and balanced, with fresh acidity, a light creaminess and a long, elegant finish.
Serving tips
Serve at 10–12 °C. Delicious with grilled fish, shellfish, Mediterranean salads, chicken or light pasta. Also excellent as a gastronomic aperitif.
Cellaring
4 to 6 years — develops extra complexity and softness with bottle age.
