Crafted by the Diamantakis family with skillful precision, it captures both the richness of Vidiano and the zesty freshness of Assyrtiko. Pale yellow in colour, this wine opens with aromas of pineapple, apricot and chamomile, delicately layered with vanilla, toasted nuts and a gentle oak spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet lifted, showing ripe stone fruit flavours, crisp acidity and excellent balance. The long finish leaves elegant hints of apricot and vanilla.
