Description
Versatile, Velvet and Explosive. In the glass, Tachtas, vinified in stainless steel tanks, definitely wins the first impression with its deep, yellow color. Its nose is explosive, as the aromas of pears boiled in syrup, ripe peaches, apricots and flowers can be quite captivating. Crete has an inexhaustible wealth of hidden wine treasures, such as the white variety "Tachtas". This is the first release of "Tachtas Douloufakis", in only 2000 bottles.
ABOUT DOULOUFAKIS WINERY
Located in the centre of Crete, the Douloufakis winery is now looked after by third generation Nikos Douloufakis who has put this estate on the world map. All the estates vineyards are situated on hill slopes at an altitude of 350 meters. They are mostly cultivated by hand and cover 20 hectares, all situated within the vine-growing region of Dafnes. Nikos is almost entirely responsible for the premium representation of Vidiano. The Aspros Lagos (white rabbit) is a medium-bodied, oak and acacia oak barrel fermented expression of this variety, that embodies texture and class. The dry red version of Liatiko is delicious and silky and clear proof that this variety is more than worthy of attention. Nikos’ understanding of contemporary wine styles and the current industry trends are clearly displayed in these wines and the focus on indigenous varieties shows this line up is Crete’s finest.

What The Critics Say
Complex, lightly nutty aroma. Ripe pears, even a little yeasty. Marked by the oak. Powerful, compact, full-bodied but still showing the green fruits of the variety. Deeply flavoured and fresh.
