Vilana



This is a bottle of varietal Vilana wine from the Greek island of Crete. Vilana is an indigenous wine grape from Crete, considered to be the star of white Crete wine grapes. It can also be found in the Greek appellations of Peza and Sitia on the island of Crete, making light bodied white wines with a lemony acidity. I tasted this wine in last year's wine fair. A deep lemon gold colour, it had a fruity nose with definite grapefruit notes. It was off-dry and lemony on the palate with a lemon acidity giving support and structure to the wine.
