If you do not speak Cretan, Aspra Harakia means White Rocks. They will be what you see on your way to the vineyard of Strataridaki family consisting primarily of the monastic estates of Sinai Monastery of the Holy Apostles at the foot of Asterousia Mountain.
The southernmost winery of Europe loves Vidiano, the top white Cretan variety that seems to be placed second, just behind Assyrtiko, among Greek ambassador varieties. Both of them agriculturists, Costis and Manolis Strataridakis, are followers of the theory that says the wine is made in the vineyard. With their attention targeted to Vidiano it works miracles, confirming its title.
The Strataridaki winery gradually builds its legend, and returns with Aspra Harakia 2015, one of the best Vidiano of this vintage!
