Pale yellow-straw in colour with inviting aromas of pear, green apple and lemon, alongside citrus blossom, subtle herbal notes and a gentle chalky freshness. On the palate, it’s lively and refreshing with flavours of juicy citrus, crisp orchard fruit and a touch of savoury complexity. There’s a lovely sense of freshness running through the wine, with a lightly textured feel that gives it extra interest without being heavy. The finish is clean, crisp and gently salty, making this \u003cstrong\u003eCretan white wine\u003c\/strong\u003e both easy to enjoy and brilliant with food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePork with celery or fennel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled fish or shellfish with lemon and herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast vegetables with olive oil and fresh thyme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"We love the wines of Lyrarakis.
