We also visited the Minoan Knossos Palace where this mural was discovered. \u00a0In this article we present selected ros\u00e9 wines and the winemakers who made them. \u00a0Unfortunately, many of these wines are not widely distributed in the US. \u00a0All the more reason for wine lovers to do a post-Covid trip to Crete and for US importers to seriously consider adding more of these excellent producers and wines to their portfolios. \u00a0A full IWR report on <strong>The Wines of Crete<\/strong> is forthcoming later this year. <span id=\"more-7924\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Grapes for Ros\u00e9 in Crete<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kotsifali and Liatiko are the two indigenous varieties most commonly used for making wine on Crete, but other varieties like Mandilaria and Muscat of Spinas, and international varieties like Mourv\u00e9dre and Syrah are also used.\u00a0\u00a0 Liatiko, an early maturing, light colored grape, is the most widely planted red variety in Crete. \u00a0The Liatiko ros\u00e9s we tasted from Kourkoulou, Louloudis and Lyrarakis are all first rate wines.\u00a0 Kotsifali is thin skinned, high in alcohol and low in acidity, but when picked early for ros\u00e9 and direct pressed, it can produce fresh tasting wines.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s often blended with other varieties.\u00a0 The Harabalakis ros\u00e9 adds the Mandilaria grape, which adds both color and acidity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ancient Ros\u00e9?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The wines of Minoa were probably light in color and consumed young and fresh, not greatly different from today\u2019s ros\u00e9s and orange wines. The Minoan palace at Knossos on Crete had underground storerooms where large, sunken clay jars stored wine and other foodstuffs. \u00a0\u00a0Later on during the Roman empire, sweet Cretan wine was exported throughout the Mediterranean, and Vino di Candia from Crete was widely exported \u00a0in the medieval ages.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7928\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GRE-Amphora-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7928\" src=\"https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GRE-Amphora-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GRE-Amphora-1.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GRE-Amphora-1-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GRE-Amphora-1-768x396.jpg 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"279\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7928\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ancient Clay Vessels at Knossos @drw<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>The Wines<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7930\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Fereniki-Douloufaki.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7930\" src=\"https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Fereniki-Douloufaki-973x1024.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Fereniki-Douloufaki-973x1024.png 973w, https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Fereniki-Douloufaki-285x300.png 285w, https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Fereniki-Douloufaki-768x808.png 768w, https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Fereniki-Douloufaki-1460x1536.png 1460w, https:\/\/i-winereview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Fereniki-Douloufaki-1946x2048.png 1946w\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"268\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7930\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7930\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fereniki Douloufaki<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><u>DAF Wines 2021 White Earth Ros\u00e9 PGI Crete\u00a0 89\u00a0 <\/u><\/strong>Light copper salmon in color, this is a very dry, nicely balanced ros\u00e9 that would pair well with a variety of vegetable and fish dishes.
