DOMAINE PATERIANAKIS

PRODUCT OF ORGANIC FARMING

Domaine Paterianakis is a vintage wine from indigenous grape varieties with a cosmopolitan personality. The grape varieties of this wine are from old vines.

The red variety Kotsifali is one of the most remarkable red grape varieties in Crete, while the red variety Mandilari stands out for its rich color and intense tannins. Thus, their combination is considered particularly successful. They are perfectly combined, as Kotsifali gives wines with high alcohol content, high acidity and elegant aromas, while Mandilari gives wines with primary aromas, intense red color and tannins.

The red varietals of PDO Peza wines are blended in a percentage of 80% Kotsifali and 20% Mandilari and create a well balanced wine, which is produced at Domaine Paterianakis for many generations.

Domaine Paterianakis and Melissinos are the first wines produced at our winery. The label is painted by hand from Georgios Paterianakis, the creator of the winery.
