The Silva Daskalaki winery is located in the village of Siva, in the Prefecture of Heraklion. The wider area belongs to the PDO Dafnes zone. The name SILVA comes from the toponym Shiva, which refers to the God Shiva (Dionysus). Behind the winery is Irini Daskalaki Xenogiannaki who started the revival of the family vineyards in 1998 intending to make her quality wines, with an emphasis on the local terroir. The viticultural tradition since 1920 and the family secrets are still today the reason why the winery continues to make wines of very high standards.
Enstikto is the winemaker's child of perfectly ripened Vidiano grapes, at an altitude of 500 meters. The grapes were left in contact with the precious juice for a few hours and this gave extra aromas to the juice that ended up after fermentation (in tanks), in French oak barrels for a full 12 months before bottling. The acidity softened and the wine acquired a rich and oily character, thanks to the contact with the lees, without losing a trace of its freshness!
