The Lyrarakis Estate is a family winery that has been producing high-quality wines since 1966 with a strong focus on rare local varieties and producing single-variety wines. The family is credited with the revival of two ancient Cretan varieties, Dafni and Plyto while a third “vineyard treasure”, the indigenous Melissaki, was recently added to the credits.
Tasting Notes: Bright yellow in color. Intense floral and fruity aromas of fresh melon and pear. Elegant on the palate with a fruity finish and slightly bitter notes.
Pairing: All seafood, a large variety of cheese, and cream sauces.
