I tried this bottle of varietal Vidiano during last year's Wine Fair. This is however a rather obscure white grape being planted in low acreage in Crete where the grape originates. Producing lemony green wines with complex aromas of apricots and peach, backed up with full body, good alcoholic strength and minerality acidity, some have compared the grape to Viognier. Due to the small quantities grown, it is not widely known or appreciated. The true aging potential of the wine is untested though some reckon that it can be aged for a few years. As for this wine, it was pale lemon in colour with a hint of grapefruit on the nose. It was slightly sweet then acid on the palate, continuing onto a sturdy acid backbone.
