Crete Dafni "Psarades"

2025

100% Dafni,  a variety that the Lyrarakis family saved from extinction when it was planted in the "Psarades" vineyard in the early '90s.  Its name derives from the laurel (bay leaf) plant, “Dáfni” in Greek, due to its aromatic resemblance.  A wine with a distinctive herbal character, refreshing mouthfeel and intense aftertaste.  The vineyard is in Alagni in central Crete, at 480m, facing northeast.  Harvested the second week of September.  Four hours of skin contact before the free-run juice was fermented and aged in stainless, just two months on the lees.
