Product Description
In 2017, this fine wine was crafted. It's a blend from Crete, Greece, where winemaking has a 6000 - plus - year history. Grapes thrive at high altitudes, adapting well to the Mediterranean climate, making Greece a top European wine - producing region. This organic winery in eastern Crete was founded in 1966 by brothers Manolis and Sotiris and is now run by second - generation family winemakers. Since 2020, they've focused on organic viticulture. Hand - harvested in the first week of September, it's a blend of 12% Kotsifali and 88% Syrah, aged in oak barrels for 9 months. You'll taste notes of berries, dark fruits, oak, and spice, with a fruity finish. Pair this medium - bodied wine with moussaka, roasted lamb, or marinated beef skewers.
To enjoy this Lyrarakis Kotsifali wine, simply open the bottle and pour it into a wine glass. Let it breathe for a few minutes to enhance the flavors. It pairs great with moussaka, roasted lamb, or marinated beef skewers as mentioned. When storing, keep it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Don't worry about complicated storage conditions; a normal wine cellar or a cool corner in your home will do. Just make sure the temperature is relatively stable. And remember, once opened, finish the bottle within a few days for the best taste.
