Decanter Awarded greek wines

The efforts of Nikos Douloufakis and his partners’ have been recognised with the receipt of European and global distinctions.

Douloufakis Cretan wines have several times been awarded prizes during some of the most important International Competitions, like Decanter in the U.K., TEXSOM International Wine Awards in the U.S.A. or Sakura in Japan.

Some well-known wine websites, such as Robert Parker's, have highly rated our wines. Furthermore, famous wine writers have aroused interest for the exceptional character of Cretan wines, such as the British Andrew Jefford, the American Mark Squires and the British Jancis Robinson, with a special reference to the winemaker Nikos Douloufakis and the "DAFNIOS" white 2016.
