DIAMANTOPETRA WHITE 2021 - DIAMANTAKIS WINERY

Its predecessor has raised the bar very high, but Diamantopetra White 2021 by Diamantakis Winery from Crete, shows that experience makes things better. The harvest of 2021, after an extremely rigorous selection, gave a white wine that makes its red brother jealous.

Vidiano continues its impressive course and meets Assyrtiko which seems to be conquering the Cretan vineyard. Their blend bears the striking characteristics of the two varieties in absolute balance. The barrel petting complements and rounds the intense juice, adding depth and complexity. The vinification of each variety was made separately while the alcoholic fermentation was completed in oak barrels where the blend remained for three months.

If you try it now, the Diamantopetra White 2021 will amaze you. If you can afford to wait 2-3 years, it will leave you speechless.

Pale yellow color illuminates the glass.

On the nose elegant flavors of pineapple, apricot and chamomile are combined elaborately with vanilla, pink pepper, nuts and oak barrel with a background discreet minerality.

In the mouth, full bodied with intense acidity that integrates nicely allowing the fruit to be properly expressed. The finish is long persistant with apricot and vanilla remaining in the mouth for quite some time.
