Oenops Vidiano

Oenops was founded in 2015 by talented winemaker Nikos Karatzas He sources indigenous and rare grape varieties grown on exceptional terroir focussing on cool-climate sites and old-vine plots, from carefully selected vineyards in Drama and Macedonia, which have been cultivated by ambitious winegrowers using an organic philosophy. Niko adopts a minimal intervention approach, and vinifies plot by plot using stainless steel, concrete, oak barrels and amphora. His aim is to source great fruit and craft wines that reflect the nuances of the
native varieties and the identity from the terroir and as a result, he produces a collection of authentic, elegant and delicious wines.  

The Vidiano grapes come from old vineyards in the mountainous area of Heraklion in Crete. Warm summer days build concentrated flavours, and when the evening temperatures drop, the refreshing natural acidity accumulates in the grapes, resulting in wines of great balance. The old vines produce low yields of concentrated fruit. 

Quintessential Vidiano with abundant citrus notes and white floral, herbal and mineral overtones. Creamy and layered with a lively freshness and flavours of stone fruit, lime and subtle spice.
