Lyrarakis
Crete Assyrtiko
Crete, Greece
Super-fresh : lemon, lemon, lemon with maybe a bit of sherbet. Great acidity and intensity, dry. A winner with the right food - went very well with a lemony spinach & mushroom pilaf + poached eggs.

Assyriology from Sitia PDO of Crete. More elegant than the examples from the northern neighbors of Santorini.

Medium bodied, good concentration and length, with floral and melon flavours. A very good vibrant wine. Conceptually somewhere between a Godello and a Chenin Blanc.
