Grifos White 2023 from Silva Daskalaki Winery is the single-varietal Vidiano of the Grifos series that approaches local varieties from a more “natural” perspective. Eirini Daskalaki follows her own path, creating a distinctive, more earthy expression of the variety that leaves no one unmoved. The same happened at the Thessaloniki Wine Trophy, where it won a Gold Medal and was distinguished as the Best Vidiano.
Eirini Daskalaki’s winery is in the village of Siva, in Heraklion, from which the winery also takes its name, Silva. Building on a family tradition that already spans a century, she revived the family vineyard by applying organic and biodynamic cultivation, aiming to produce high quality wines that clearly reflect the character of the Cretan vineyard.
Within this philosophy, she also created the Grifos series, for which she uses only grapes from the winery’s oldest vineyards. Fermentation for Grifos White 2023 from Silva Daskalaki Winery takes place in clay amphorae with indigenous yeasts, while the grape skins remain in contact with the wine until the end of fermentation, enhancing both its aromatic character and its structure.
Grifos White 2023 from Silva Daskalaki Winery is a unique Vidiano that is bottled unfiltered and without any other additives, allowing it to fully convey the essence of the variety in your glass.
