Lyrarakis, Jpodromos Vineyard Vidiano, Crete

I have this memory of a trip to Athens in the 90s, when we dined at a roof-top restaurant mainly patronised by Athenians, and had a bottle of local white wine - quite literally, wine from Attika. Its crisp and lemony nature, with just the right amount of depth to perfectly partner our fish, both surprised and delighted me. It has become my image of what Greek white wine should be. But since then finding some good white wine from …

Bright and fresh still but the two years of age do add it a bit of a mellow side. It’s a pretty wine, citrus and decent mineral as is the stone fruit touch. Works well and although welcoming it is not simple. Good 90

This is a cracking white wine. Very good vfm. Rich, balanced, flavourful. Delicious. Brought to dinner by a good friend who liked it at a local tasting event. I will be buying some too. Recommended.
