Dafni, Psarades Vineyard, Lyrarakis
Description
The Dafnà 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 'Dáfni' in Greek, as the wine produced resembles these aromas. A wine with a distinctive herbal character, refreshing mouthfeel and intense aromatic aſtertaste, in a citrus fruit background.
