Lyrarakis Aggelis Liatiko 2022

Description

Liatiko Aggelis vineyard was planted in 1930 with Liatiko vines on their own native rootstock. Producing small berry, low yielding grapes with exceptional intensity of flavour, the wine is fermented in open oak barrels with no temperature control or fining.

Ruby colour. Aromas of berry fruits marmalade and cherry with sweet spicy notes in the bouquet. Balanced with firm acidity. The mouthfeel is fruit-driven with some mixed berries and a touch of sweet oak while the tannins are nicely structured. A wine of good length and persistence with lots of potential.

It produces wines from native grapes like Vidiano, Dafni, and Liatiko alongside international varieties.

Crete

Winemakers across the island focus on indigenous grape varieties such as Vidiano, Liatiko, Kotsifali, and Vilana, often combining traditional methods with modern precision. The style ranges from vibrant, mineral-driven whites to structured sun-ripened reds with herbal complexity. Today a new generation of producers emphasizes quality terroir expression and sustainable viticulture helping Cretan wine recognition for distinctive character and authenticity.
