Description
Ocean White: Full of Fruit and Depth
The Thrapsathiri grape holds great potential and can yield exceptionally good results with the right treatment in the vineyard. This Ocean White from Idaia delivers precisely that: We observe a brilliant yellow-green hue in the glass.
On the nose, alongside lime, melon, and lemongrass, we also perceive pineapple, mango, honey, and almond paste. The wine also tastes of mint, apple, and brine.
Upon opening and coming into contact with air, the wine becomes even more balanced and is immediately excellent in its drinkability. Overall, the wine is very round and pleasantly crisp, equipped with a long, lively finish.

Idaia Winery is located in Venerato, a charming village in the heart of the Malevizi vineyards, south of the town of Dafnes. Venerato is situated on one of the lower hills of Mount Psiloritis.
The Malevizi region is famed for its sweet wines. During the Venetian rule, these wines were given the well-known name Malvazia, being shipped from Heraklion throughout the Mediterranean.
Malevizi boasts a wealth of ancient and Roman wine presses, indicating the strong presence of winemaking in the region from Minoan times to the present day.
