Domaine Lyrarakis Voila Assyrtiko

Lyrarakis Voila Assyrtiko is a refined white wine from the eastern part of Crete, crafted exclusively from the indigenous Assyrtiko grape. Grown in the Voila region at an altitude of 580 meters above sea level, the vineyards benefit from cool Aegean winds and loamy soils, allowing for a longer ripening period that preserves the grape's natural acidity and aromatic complexity. The wine presents a bright platinum color with aromas of citrus fruits, white-fleshed stone fruits, and subtle hints of green herbs and chalk. On the palate, it is crisp and rich, offering a mineral-driven character with a salty freshness and a long, elegant finish. The wine undergoes a short skin contact period at low temperatures and is fermented in stainless steel tanks to maintain its purity and expression of terroir. This vegan-friendly wine pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, shellfish, and light poultry preparations. It is best enjoyed when served chilled, allowing its vibrant flavours and refreshing acidity to shine.
