Description
Lyrarakis is located in the mountainous commune of Alagni (440 metres above sea-level), south of the city of Heraklion, in Crete. The soils are predominantly loam with either more sand or clay depending on the vineyard site. The well-preserved 14th-century stone-presses in the fields around the winery is proof of the area’s long history of grape-growing and winemaking. This Liatiko is fermented in stainless steel, and has a light ruby colour with impressive aromas of wild berries, pure red berry fruit and fine, gentle tannins.
