ESTATE LYRARAKIS PSARADES DAFNI - 0.75LT - 2023

The Dafni grape variety was saved from extinction by the Lyrarakis family, when it was planted in the “Psarades” family vineyard at 480m. altitude in central Crete in the early '90s.Its name derives from the laurel (bay leaf) plant, which is called “Dafni” in Greek, as the wine produced resembles these aromas. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tank between 17-19°C and then the final blend matured on lees for a period of 4 months, gaining depth of flavour. A wine with a distinctive herbal character, refreshing mouthfeel and intense aromatic aftertaste, in a citrus fruit background. Bright yellow colour. Aromas of herbs such as bay leaf and rosemary with notes of citrus flower and fruit, typical for this variety. Balanced and savory with vibrant acidity and an intense aromatic aftertaste. Pairs with fried small fishes, seafood like cuttlefish with spinach. White meat, pulses and pies with greens and aromatic herbs.
