Amphora Muscat White Natural Wine Douloufakis Wines

Natural white wine from the exquisite Muscat variety, traditionally vinified in an amphora without added yeasts and with minimal sulfur. Unfiltered, with natural haziness and a possible fine sediment, it reveals complex aromas of hazelnut, yellow apple, honey, and dried citrus. Rich and tannic body, striking a perfect balance between fruit and nuts. Aged for a total of 9 months—5 in clay amphora and 4 in stainless steel tanks—preserving its authentic character.

The viticulture and wine production is tradition for Douloufakis Family carried from generation to generation as the spirit of valuable experience. Nowadays the vine-yard cultivation and wine-production tradition of the Family is continued by the grandson Nikolas Douloufakis who studied Oenology in Italy (Alba Intituto Agrario-Spezialitato in Diviticultura e Enologia).

Nick Douloufakis develops both cretan indigenous varieties such as Liatiko, Kotsifali, Vilana, Vidiano and international as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, etc.
