Pnevmatikakis Romeiko – Dry White Wine from Kissamos

From the historic vineyards of Kissamos in western Crete comes Pnevmatikakis Romeiko, a beautiful and authentic dry white wine crafted by the Pnevmatikakis family winery.

Romeiko is one of Crete’s most ancient indigenous grape varieties. Traditionally a red-skinned grape, it is harvested early and gently pressed to produce this elegant white wine that beautifully expresses the sunny Mediterranean terroir of Kissamos. The combination of warm days, cooling sea breezes, and the rocky soils of the region gives this wine its distinctive freshness and character.In the glass, Pnevmatikakis Romeiko shines with a bright golden-yellow color. The nose is fresh and aromatic, revealing delicate notes of white peach, citrus zest, green apple, dried figs, and a subtle touch of honey and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate it is crisp and well-balanced, with lively acidity, elegant structure, and a clean, refreshing finish that lingers pleasantly.

This is a versatile and food-friendly wine that captures the true spirit of Crete — generous, vibrant, and full of sunshine. It pairs wonderfully with fresh seafood, grilled fish, octopus, light appetizers, salads, and soft cheeses. It also makes an excellent companion to our premium dry-aged beef when served slightly chilled, bringing a lovely contrast to richer dishes.

Whether enjoyed on a warm summer evening overlooking the sea or shared around the family table, Pnevmatikakis Romeiko brings a taste of authentic Cretan tradition to every glass. Produced with care and respect for local heritage, it showcases the Pnevmatikakis family’s dedication to highlighting the unique potential of indigenous Cretan varieties.
