Experience the authentic character of Crete with “The Hunter,” a premium single-variety expression of Kotsifali from Klados Winery. While many producers blend this indigenous grape to add structure, Klados Winery chooses to showcase it in its purest form, capturing the aromatic elegance and “spicy” personality that makes Kotsifali the heart of Cretan red winemaking.
As a 100% Kotsifali, “The Hunter” is a tribute to the terroir of Rethymno. This variety is celebrated for its low tannins and high alcohol potential, resulting in a wine that is approachable, juicy, and remarkably fragrant. The striking eagle on the label reflects the wine’s noble heritage and its sharp, focused varietal identity.

Experience the “flagship of the Cretan vineyard’s rebirth” with the Garakis Vidiano. Produced by the dedicated Garakis Winery in the picturesque village of Kounavoi, Heraklion, this wine is a testament to the family’s commitment to organic farming and the preservation of indigenous Cretan heritage.
This terroir-driven Vidiano is sourced from four small, organically cultivated vineyard parcels. These vines are planted in poor, calcareous (limestone) soils, which provide the wine with remarkable energy and a distinctive vertical structure.
The winemaking process involves a classic white vinification at controlled temperatures. To gain complexity and volume, the wine remains in contact with its fine lees for three months, undergoing weekly battonage (stirring).
