2015 Liastos, Domaine Lyrarakis, Sweet Wine, Greece
This sweet concentrated wine is a superb blend of local grapes with aromas of caramelised apricots and a hint of herbs, followed by a palate of bitter orange marmalade, with a mouthfeel that is balanced by the wine's exceptional freshness.

Established in 1966, the winery is located in the mountainous commune of Alagni (440 metres above sea-level), south of the city of Heraklion, in Crete. The well-preserved 14th-century stone-presses in the fields around the winery are testament to the area’s long history of grape-growing and winemaking.
The winery is at the forefront of viticultural innovation, championing obscure local varieties and producing an array of wonderful wines including this one.
