EUPHORIA 2021 - DOURAKIS WINERY

Having stayed for 9 days under the hot sun of Crete after having been harvested over-ripe, the grapes of Romeiko variety are dried up partially losing a big part of their content in water. Their luscious juice becomes Euphoria, natural sweet wine which condenses aromas of flowers and dried fruit in unique intensity. Its rich, velvety texture is completed by refreshing acuity which balances elaborately the sweetness without making it too sweet on the palate.

At Alikabos, Crete, in the broader area of Chania, the prominent oenologist Andreas Dourakis founded in 1988 the Dourakis Winery. His knowledge and experience of hellenic abd foreign wineries helped him to make his dream come true producing internationally well known wine with great accolades. We already await the ones the will follow…

In the glass, its colour is amber with orange highlights.

The intense aromas of dried fruit and flowers of mailny bitter orange, citrus and hyacinth meet up with bergamot and orange zest. Honey syrup and toffee complete its rich aromatic character.

On the palate, it is rich with its velvet texture and hearty sweetness to balance with the right acuity making it cool in total. The dried fruit are intense and linger in the long aftertaste.
