admin — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 15:10:48 +0000

Experience one of the most impressive and elegant expressions of the Cretan vineyard with the Liatiko Indigenous Yeast from the innovative Karavitakis Winery. Often described as a Mediterranean answer to Pinot Noir, this wine is a masterclass in finesse and complexity, highlighting the sophisticated side of Crete’s most historic red variety.
This limited-edition bottling is part of a special project by Nikos Karavitakis to explore the potential of old, ungrafted vines found across the island. Fermented exclusively with indigenous (wild) yeasts and bottled with minimal filtration, the wine remains a pure reflection of its terroir. With production often limited to just 1,000 bottles per vintage, it is a rare find for any wine enthusiast.

Experience one of the most exuberant and impressive expressions of the Cretan rebirth with the Vidiano Single Vineyard from Karavitakis Winery. This limited-edition label is the result of years of experimentation by winemaker Nikos Karavitakis, who sought to capture the ultimate “mineral” identity of Crete’s flagship white variety.
Sourced from a single vineyard perched at an altitude of 640 meters, this Vidiano thrives in a climate that emphasizes its most vibrant and “stony” characteristics. To allow the land to speak truly, the wine is fermented exclusively with wild (indigenous) yeasts in stainless steel tanks. It remains in contact with its fine lees for a remarkable 36 months, gaining profound complexity, volume, and a rich, oily texture before bottling.
