SURREAL – Pet Nat Vidiano (2024)
SURREAL lives up to its name: an enchanting, vibrant Pet Nat made from 100% Vidiano, one of Crete's most refined indigenous grapes. The young, ten-year-old vines grow in the high-altitude vineyards of Archanes, under the shadow of the sacred Mount Youchtas/Zeus. The sandy and chalky soils here give Vidiano its characteristic freshness and subtle minerality.
The wine is made entirely by hand, using minimal electricity, according to the ancestral method. After three days of skin contact and eight months of aging on the lees, the wine is disgorged to preserve its natural, pure sparkle.
Wild fermentation, unfiltered, unclarified and without added sulphites — SURREAL is natural wine in its purest form.
In the glass, it reveals a light haze and a fine mousse. You'll taste ripe stone fruit, citrus blossom, hints of peach, and a subtle saltiness from the chalky terroir. The structure is round yet fresh, with a juicy, energetic finish.
With only 1000 bottles, this is an exclusive release for lovers of pure, vibrant natural wines.
