Semissis

Grape Variety:
• Blend of Vilana and Malvasia di Candia Aromatica - two native Cretan white grapes that harmonize floral intensity with refreshing acidity and fruit character.

Color & Style:
• Dry white wine with a clear, bright profile and a lively, aromatic style.

Aroma & Taste:
• Aromatic bouquet featuring jasmine, ripe fleshy peach, and subtle notes of pear and butter.
• Balanced palate with harmonious acidity and a memorable, long aftertaste.

Vinification:

• Each variety is fermented separately at controlled moderate temperatures in stainless steel.
• The final blend rests on fine lees for several months before bottling to enrich texture and complexity.

Serving & Pairing:

• Pairs beautifully with seafood, pizza, pasta, and pork. Also delightful as an aperitif.

Terroir:
• Grapes are grown in the Pezá region of Crete (PDO), benefiting from high-altitude vineyards and cool breezes that help develop aromatic fruit and balanced acidity.

Meaning of the Name:
• Semissis refers to an ancient Byzantine gold coin - a symbol of value and quality - reflecting the wine’s elegant and balanced character.
