Douloufakis Tachtas

In 2012, the extensive reference work "Wine Grapes, a complete guide to 1368 wine varieties" by Jancis Robinson and others was published. Finally a book that lists all wine grapes, we initially thought. It soon turned out that at AndereWijn we have dozens of wines from grapes that are not listed. Like this Tachtas. Comes from Crete and is very rare even there. Only Nikos Douloufakis presses a wine from it.

Because no one else does it, we will tell you about the Tachtas: It is white and turns out - how could it be otherwise - to be a Mediterranean type. Lots of sun and drinking pleasure in the glass. Quite strong and mild in the acids. You recognize ripe yellow apple, yellow plums, tropical fruit and an almond bitter. Would he make it to the Second Edition of Wine Grapes?
