Winery in Heraklion, Crete

About the Winery

Domaine Paterianakis is a third-generation family winery located on the beautiful island of Crete, a region with over 4,000 years of winemaking history. As pioneers of organic grape cultivation on the island, we are dedicated to producing wines that are not only high in quality but also 100% environmentally friendly. Our commitment to organic farming means that we avoid the use of chemical or synthetic fertilizers, ensuring that our production process does not contaminate the soil, water, or atmosphere. This dedication to sustainable practices allows us to create wines that are natural, authentic, and a true expression of the Cretan terroir.

Our winery is vertically integrated, which means we control every step of the production process, from the vineyard to the bottle. We cultivate six unique indigenous grape varieties alongside five international varieties, using the latest organic techniques to produce wines with a strong personality and a deep connection to the land. Visitors to Domaine Paterianakis can experience the rich tradition of Cretan winemaking while discovering the distinct flavors that make our wines truly special.

About the Wines

At Domaine Paterianakis, our wines are a reflection of our passion for organic viticulture and the unique terroir of Crete. We produce a diverse range of wines that highlight both indigenous and international grape varieties, each crafted with care to bring out the best characteristics of the fruit.

Melissokipos: This is a series of wines that includes Melissinos White, Melissinos Rosé, and Melissinos Red. Each wine in this series is named after the "Bee Garden" and embodies the harmony of nature and organic farming, offering vibrant, fresh flavors with a distinct Cretan character.

Vidiano: A white wine made from the indigenous Vidiano grape, known for its aromatic complexity and balance. It is a wine that captures the essence of Crete, with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and a hint of minerality.

Moschato Spinas: This aromatic white wine is made from the rare Muscat of Spina grape, offering an exquisite bouquet of floral and fruity notes. It is fresh and lively on the palate, making it a perfect wine for warm Mediterranean evenings.

Assyrtiko: A renowned Greek white variety, our Assyrtiko is crisp and mineral-driven, with bright acidity and flavors of lemon, green apple, and a touch of salinity that reflects its island origins.

3.14 Series: This special series includes 3.14 Vidiano, 3.14 Kotsifali-Merlot, and 3.14 Kotsifali. These wines are crafted with precision, showcasing the depth and complexity of the Vidiano and Kotsifali grapes, either on their own or blended with Merlot for added richness and structure.

Domaine Paterianakis - Vintage Bottle: A flagship wine that represents the pinnacle of our production, this vintage offering is a testament to our commitment to excellence and tradition. It is a wine of great depth, elegance, and aging potential, perfect for special occasions.

Each bottle from Domaine Paterianakis is a celebration of Crete’s ancient winemaking heritage, offering wine lovers around the world a taste of this remarkable island’s rich and diverse flavors.
