100% Assyrtiko (the great grape of Santorini) from dry-farmed, head trained vines in Sitia, eastern Crete. Hand harvested and given 24 hours of skin contact. 12% of the wine aged in neutral oak for 4.5 months. 13.25% alcohol. This tastes like summer in a bottle with its thirst quenching style, but we drink it all year long! Look for pure floral aromas with ginger spices and delicate notes of ripe citrus. Crispy and rich mouthfeel with a mineral and chalky character. Classy and charming, mouthwatering and satisfying. The Lyrarakis Estate was founded in 1966 by brothers Manolis and Sotiris Lyrarakis. It is surrounded by the Lassithi mountains and focuses on rare local varieties and single variety wines.
