Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Pale golden color. Peach and apricot aromas are dominant and quince traces. There are floral notes of chamomile, jasmine, and herbs. Rich flavor with the same dominant aromas. On the palate well-balanced acidity, full-bodied with a fine finish.

90 Points - Wine Advocate
The Douloufakis 2023 Vidiano has a hint of ashy mineral on first nose, and it takes a minute or two before you get to honeydew melon and Golden Delicious apple. The wine is lean-bodied for the most part, but it does have a good amount of fruit weight and concentration that adds to its subtle power. It finishes dry with mid-weight intensity. You have the substance to pair with spicy shrimp.
