Exciting wines ! Red wines from Crete are an increasingly respected part of Greece’s wine landscape. The island’s warm Mediterranean climate and diverse terroir support both indigenous and international grape varieties, with standout reds often made from local grapes like Liatiko, Kotsifali, and Mandilaria. These wines are typically medium-bodied with bright acidity, red fruit flavours, and earthy, herbal notes that reflect the island’s unique character. Lyrarakis wines combine traditional techniques with modern practices, leading to a growing presence on international wine lists and a renewed appreciation for the island’s rich winemaking heritage.
