Solidus from Zidianakis Garage Winery is a single‑varietal Vidiano that immediately won us over with its fresh, vibrant character, making us dream of long summer lunches by the sea, filled with sunshine and meze.
The Zidianakis family has been involved in viticulture for decades, and today the fourth generation leads the winery with the same passion and meticulous attention to detail. Their vineyards, located on the outskirts of Heraklion, Crete, are planted exclusively with traditional Cretan white varieties, all organically cultivated.
The grapes for Solidus Zidianakis Garage Winery come from a single vineyard in Agies Paraskies, within the PDO Peza zone — one of Crete’s most important wine‑growing areas. Sitting at 360 meters altitude, the vineyard benefits from conditions that help preserve the natural acidity of the fruit. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to maintain Vidiano’s characteristic fruity profile, and the wine then rests on its lees for three months, gaining richer texture and extra depth.
Its name draws inspiration from the solidus, the gold coin of the early Byzantine emperors, symbolizing enduring value — and this is exactly what Solidus Zidianakis Garage Winery represents: the steady, reliable quality of this boutique winery.
