Vidiano Queen White Wine 750ml

Lyrarakis Vidiano

From the sun-drenched vineyards of Crete, this vintage highlights the true character of Vidiano—an indigenous grape often celebrated as the island’s most promising white variety. The 2023 harvest brought balanced ripeness, freshness, and elegance, resulting in a wine that embodies both Cretan terroir and modern winemaking craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Bright, pale golden hue with a hint of green.
• Aroma: Expressive bouquet of ripe peach, apricot, and citrus blossom, layered with notes of fresh herbs and a touch of minerality.
• Palate: Medium-bodied and beautifully textured, offering juicy stone fruit flavours alongside vibrant acidity. A subtle saline finish reflects the island’s unique terroir, leaving a lingering, refreshing aftertaste.

Food Pairing Suggestions

• Seafood: Perfect with grilled sea bass, prawns, or octopus drizzled with olive oil and lemon.
• Cheese: Complements soft white cheeses like mizithra or anthotyro, as well as mild goat cheese.
• Vegetarian: A delightful match with zucchini fritters, stuffed grape leaves, or roasted vegetables.
• Meat: Pair with light poultry dishes, such as lemon-roasted chicken with fresh herbs.

Its balance of fruit and minerality also makes it an excellent apéritif wine, enjoyed on its own with good company.
