Oenops Vidiano, Crete, Greece 2023

£24.95

The mesmerising label might play tricks of your eyes, but there’s no fooling your tastebuds - this is unequivocally delicious! It has made its way to these shores all the way from Crete, and it’s like drinking a little postcard from the Aegean. Its bright, silver-gold colour leads to aromas and flavours of star fruit, lemon barley water, bay leaf and a hint of salt-crusted, white rocks. A stylish, mineral-inflected, sea-breeze of a wine. 13% alc. Drink now-2027.


Press review:

Decanter (Olly Smith): “Pale gold with hedonistic yet pure aromas of peach, sage, gorse flower and lime blossom. This is a wine of great precision. With stone fruit and citrus vim, there’s also a gorgeous creaminess to the texture on the finish which lasts for an impressively long time. A bright start to a rich finish, this is moreish stuff.

The Wine Advocate: “Here's a sneaky label design. Only after I put my sample back on my office shelf and got some distance was I able to read the label with its dotted patterns that spell out the grape name. The Oenops 2023 Vidiano is an approachable mid-weight white with a special emphasis on firmness and texture. It offers stone fruit, honeydew melon and crushed stone, but the wine has the natural density to stand up to more important pairings of grilled swordfish or tuna steak. It sees a spontaneous fermentation in amphorae, concrete, barrel and stainless steel. It matures on the lees in amphorae for six months. Drink now-2029.” 91 points
