VIDIANO INDIGENOUS YEAST 2016 LIMITED - KARAVITAKIS WINERY

Vidiano Indigenous Yeast Karavitakis Winery is probably the most exuberant and impressive expression of the variety we have ever tried! With our eyes closed, we are sure that you would also bet that this is a more aromatic and fruitier Santorini, but no, this is Vidiano as it should be.

Nikos Karavitakis, having experimented with Vidiano as few people do, decided to create a new label, Vidiano Indigenous Yeast, a wine that emerged after many experiments, passion and patience. The vineyard is located at an altitude of 640 meters and this means that there the variety gives its most mineral and lemony version. The wine was fermented with ambient yeasts, in stainless steel tanks, where it remained for about 36 months, along with its fine wine lees. After bottling, it matured for a few months in the bottle and the result is simply amazing.

The bottles of Vidiano Indigenous Yeast Karavitakis Winery are less than 1000 so you know what to do.

* The engraving on the label is inspired by a photo of Nikos with his grandfather in the vines.

Vidiano Indigenous Yeast Karavitakis Vineyards has medium lemon color and impressive aromas of honeycomb, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, white peach, pineapple, sourdough bread, petrol, chrysanthemums and chamomile.

In the mouth it has medium (+) body, marked acidity and oily texture. The mineral character is dominant but it is accompanied by ripe citrus and stone fruits.
