Assyrtiko may have been born on Santorini, but on the rugged, mountainous island of Crete, it takes on a bold new identity. Grown in high-altitude vineyards cooled by sea breezes and mountain winds, Lyrarakis’ Assyrtiko is crisp, mineral-driven, and unapologetically expressive.
Expect bright citrus – lemon zest and grapefruit – layered with hints of sea salt, wild herbs, and stony minerality. It’s a wine with real grip and freshness, making it a perfect partner for grilled octopus, or roast feta salad. This is Greek wine with both heritage and a modern heartbeat.
