A Liatiko that reminiscent of Pinot Noir!

Why do we love it?

Liatiko Indigenous Yeast Karavitakis Winery is the most impressive and at the same time elegant red wine of the Cretan vineyard that we have ever tasted. The old, ungrafted vines gave their best fruit and Nikos's magic hand did all the rest! Simply amazing!

According to James Suckling who, last year, selected it as one of the top greek wines, it is a fascinating red wine, aromatic, refined, with light body and delicate tanins, but showing complexity and elegance.

Nikos Karavitakis, wanting to explore the potential of Cretan varieties and the old vines that the Cretan vineyard hides, decided to deal with a new project, the project of Indigenous Yeast. For this project he scoured the whole island and found old and ungrafted vines from Kotsifali and Liatiko and let the terroir do its job. What do we mean by that? Indigenous yeasts, minimal filtration and discreet use of oak (only 9 months for Liatiko), so that the characteristics of each variety shine. Liatiko Indigenous Yeast is the finest wine of the project as it emphasizes the elegant side of the variety, a side that is reminiscent of Pinot Noir and we really love it. Slightly chilled, it is one of the reds that will accompany you during summer but also all year round, if its limted bottles last that long.
