Founded in 2007, Diamantakis is a modern winery located in Crete, to the south-west of Heraklion in the heart of the Malevizi province.

The love and passion of the Diamantakis family for high quality wine and their long tradition in viticulture was the motivation to create a small winery in the area.

The family’s vision was the cultivation of local grape varieties such as Vidiano, Liatiko and Mandilaria, to produce their best expression in this unique microclimate.

This wine is produced using classic red vinification techniques, with quick extraction (2-2.5 days), fermentation takes place at low temperatures in order to preserve the fruit characteristics of the grape variety.

Producer’s Tasting Notes

This wine is purple in colour with red highlights. On the nose it is  fresh and aromatic with an intense bouquet of black pepper and blackberries, followed by scents of violet, typical of Syrah variety.

Medium in body with balanced acidity and tannins giving a rich, juicy and velvety mouthfeel.
