Lyrarakis Liastos - Sweet White Wine - Vidiano Plyto Dafni Assyrtiko Thrapsathiri Vilana
This sweet "Liastos" wine is a blend of local grapes which sun-dry (in the shadow), giving us a concentrated juice with density of aromas and taste. Caramelised apricots with a hint of herbs in the nose, followed by a bitter orange marmalade mouthfeel, which is balanced by the wine's exceptional freshness.
Tasting Note:
Clear golden colour. Intense deep bouquet of rip peach and apricot compined by delicious overtones of marmalade and honey flavours. Rich mouthfeel with bright citrus acidity and a long aromatic aftertaste. This wine has an excellent bottle-ageing potential that an overpass 10 years.
Food matches:
Fruit, all traditional Cretan sweet pies and a large variety of creamy fruit desserts. Serve at 10°C - 11°C.
