Why do we love it?
Vidiano brought Crete in the spotlight of the wine scene and with Vidiano by Nikos Gavalas, you can understand why. Delicious and special, Nikos Gavalas's Vidiano is made for tough pairings.

Nikos Gavalas is a worthy successor to the family history that begins with his great-grandfather, in 1906, when he planted the first vineyards in the area. In recent years he has been creating excellent wines based on Cretan varieties. Careful use of oak gives Vidiano another style that may surprise you. Vidiano is cultivated organically, with low yields per hectare, in the privately-owned vineyard of the estate, in the area of Vorias Monofatsiou area, in Heraklion, Crete. After the initial fermentation, the wine matures in French oak barrels of 228 liters, for five months, during which proved to be ideal for integrating the oaky character into a white wine that does not cease, not even for a moment, to express the typical character of the variety.

Don't waste time and try Vidiano by Nikos Gavalas now!

VIDIANO 2018 - GAVALAS CRETE WINES

PAIR IT

with pasta with Cretan apaki and cream cheese, grilled sea bass, or chicken with lemon sauce.

Chicken Piccata

  • 2 chicken fillets (breast or thigh)
  • 3 tbsps. of butter
  • 3 juicy lemons
  • 150 ml. white wine (preferably Sauvignon blanc or Assyrtiko)
  • 150 ml. chicken broth, hot
  • 1 bunch of parsley
  • Olive oil
  • Flour for all purposes
  • Capers
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground pepper

First mush up, in a mortar, a pinch of salt, a few peppercorns, some lemon zest and 1 1/ tablespoon of olive oil.

Cut the fillets along with a sharp knife, creating 2 slices of each breast.

Brush the fillets with the mortar mixture by lightly massage the chicken and then flour the fillets.

In a large pan add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When they heat up, we sauté the chicken until it gets a nice golden color and we remove it from the pan.

In the same pan add the broth and the wine. Allow to boil and then put the fillets back into the pan.

Leave it to high heat until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.  As long as the sauce cools, it will thicken even more, so do not let the whole sauce evaporate.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter, the lemon juice from the two lemons and a few slices of lemon, shake the pan and add the capers.

Remove it from the fire, add chopped parsley and serve with thin pasta, rice or boiled potatoes!
