Thrapsathiri ( Greek: Θραψαθήρι) is a white Greek wine grape variety that abounds in Crete. [1] The grape is highly resistant to drought, ripens late and produces very aromatic wines with soft acidity. [2] In the past, trapsathiri used to be blended with vilana, but nowadays it is increasingly vinified on its own.
Thrapsathiri used to be considered a clone of athiri. [3] However, DNA analysis has suggested that it is a distinct variety with links to vidiano. [4] It has also been suggested that thrapsathiri is identical to begleri of Cyclades. [4]
