Dourakis (Ντουρακης)

Cretan winery exploring Vidiano, Romeiko, and Mandilaria.

Dourakis produces wines from Crete's Chania region, drawing on indigenous Greek varieties that define the island's winemaking character. The winery's portfolio centers on Vidiano, Romeiko, and Mandilaria—grapes rooted in Cretan terroir. Lihnos Vidiano, a white wine from the Vidiano variety, represents the winery's work with this regional cultivar. Romeiko, another indigenous expression, and Impromptu Mandilari, built from the dark-skinned Mandilaria grape, round out the core range. Decanter has assessed wines from the portfolio. The Chania subregion of Crete offers distinct conditions for viticulture, and Dourakis's focus on native varieties reflects the broader commitment to expressing local identity through grape and place.
