TASTING NOTES
Douloufakis Sparkling Vidiano is almost straw-like in colour and when carefully poured, a cascade of silver bubbles will surround the glass and dance in a sparkling creamy foam, creating a complex aroma, reminiscent of apples, apricots, honey and beeswax. It is a vibrant, refreshing, sparkling wine with a long aftertaste.
VINIFICATION
The base wine had the ideal attributes for producing sparkling wine by the traditional method. The base wine traits were high acidity, low pH (to withstand ageing), neutral aromatic profile and strong body. Followed by the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine remained on lees (sur lies fines) for 24 more months.
The disgorging was completed in January 2023 by selecting a liqueur d`expedition to give us a brut wine.
PAIRINGS
We recommend placing the wine in an ice bucket for half an hour prior to serving at a temperature of 9-10°C.
Douloufakis Sparkling Vidiano is a sparkling wine with a range of possibilities: as a simple aperitif on a fine summer’s day or an unexpected celebration, but truly, this wine will come into its own if you team it with food.
It would be an excellent companion to oysters, scallops, sushi, mussels or lobster dripping with a bisque sauce. If seafood doesn’t appeal to you, then most chicken dishes would gain from being accompanied by this exciting sparkling wine.
