An international grape variety Sauvignon Blanc and the local grape variety, Dafni, are participating in a captivating and original conversation. The meeting results in a fresh and delicate wine with golden-greenish tints and a rich aromatic blending of peach, kumquat and a a hint of clemon and green apple. Surprisingly soft mouth with discreet acidity and an aftertaste of persistent duration. Best served at 9-10 °C.

The Digenakis winery is located in the middle of P.D.O. Peza, Crete’s. It is the largest wine-producing region, 20 km far away from the center of Heraklion and only 10 km from the Knossos Palace.
The Digenakis family has created a modern and attractive place that is not only limited to producing excellent quality wines but perceives winemaking as a vital part of a more collective culture, aspiring to interconnect it with other forms of cultural expression such as music, painting, poetry and literature, dance and theater.
The operation of the excellent in terms of infrastructure winery is marked and given meaning by the presence of artists in a cultural space warmed by their work. At the same time, it aims to accommodate younger artists thus helping to highlight their work, in an effort to become an aesthetic reference to the cultural activities of the region.
The paths of wine tasting quietly sprout from an organic artistic substrate, which shapes and colors a new process that is now becoming more complex and possibly necessary, since it is no longer confined to a narrow object.
Alternating troupes or independent artists find refuge for their work in an area that brings the untouched urban element to the nearby rural region.
It also gets high praise for white blends such as Marisini (Chardonnay, Spinas muscat, Vidiano) and Aeriko (Sauvignon Blanc, Dafni).
An art gallery is planned.
