Douloufakis is a family business on Crete that makes quality wines mainly from the island's indigenous grape varieties. The winery is led by Nikos Douloufakis and his wife, who have about ten hectares of vineyards from which they press their own wines.
In 1930, grandfather Dimitris Douloufakis started professional wine production, still working according to Crete's traditional methods - the grapes were fermented in concrete vats in a traditional cellar. He knew his craft, and in 1952 he won important wine awards at the 'International Trade Fair' in Thessaloniki. For the small Cretan business, it was a great honor to receive international recognition on the mainland.
Times have changed considerably. Today, grandson Nikos Douloufakis runs the family business. Nikos studied oenology in Italy. After his studies he completely modernized the winery and began producing quality wines from his own vineyards. The cellar now holds oak barrels, steel tanks and highly modern cellar equipment. Nikos's eldest son is now also training in winemaking and hopes to experiment with amphora winemaking.
The family owns about 10 hectares of vineyards, lying on hillsides about 300 meters above sea level in the Dafnes region, which has its own appellation. The Douloufakis family has planted both international and indigenous grape varieties, such as: Vilana, Vidiano, Malvasia, Mandelaria, Sauvignon Blanc, Liatiko, Kotsifali, Sangiovese (Nikos studied in Italy) and Syrah. We currently have nine wines from Douloufakis in our range. You can view all our wines from Douloufakis here.
