Assyrtiko, Lyrarakis
Description
From a small family winery who discovered the potential of east Crete in the 1970s. Sourced form an unirrigated single vineyard, this Assyrtiko is lovely and fresh, with crisp apple, stone fruit and hint of ginger. The textured palate has a rich mouthfeel supported by minerality and a natural acidity that leads into a long, fruity and uplifting finish.
