Thrapsathiri (Greek: Θραψαθήρι) is a white Greek winegrape 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]
