  • 1. Domaine Fantaxometocho

    Dry, white varietal wine – great with seafood and cheese.

  • 3. Sauvignon Blanc Boutari

    Dry white, ideal with vegetable dishes, cheeses and cold cuts.

  • 4. Sant’Antonio

    Produced from Kotsifali and Mantilaria grapes in the Peza region of central Crete by Miliarakis Brothers, this deep red wine is barrel-aged for five to six years.

  • 5. Kokolakis

    Ioannis Kokolakis bottles wines made from liatiko grapes grown in the Agrilos vineyards, not far from Siteia, which produce a light, dry red wine.

  • 6. Kissamos

    This potent red wine with a 13 per cent alcohol content comes from Romeiko grapes grown in Crete’s north west.

  • 7. Rodolino

    Made from liatiko red wine grapes blended with white varieties, this rosé is best served chilled to the bone.

  • 8. Clos de Creta

    Unassuming white wine made from Romeiko grapes from the Kissamos area.

  • 9. Domenico

    Made from Vilana and Rozaki grapes, this is one of the better pine-flavoured retsinas.

  • 10. Malvasia

    One of Europe’s oldest wines, Malvasia was exported as far as England by the Venetians. Made from a blend of sugar-rich, aromatic grapes, it is best drunk with dessert.
