Aged in new and second fill barriques to add complexity and texture. Very nice golden colour, with green and yellow hues. Aromas of white flowers and citrus, hints of beeswax, apricot and melon, subtle toast and vanilla. Intense apricot and stone fruit flavours, white peach and white currants with lovely minerality. Vidiano is one of the real stars of Greek Island white varieties, thanks to the efforts of Nikos Douloufakis . Best enjoyed with pasta with seafood or grilled fish.
