It's a long, spontaneous (indigenous yeast) for 50 days with a small 8 hours of skin contact, no oak here. It's a very delicate wine with an underlying power and persistence. It's a mineral, refreshing style but it's beauty requires some attention to what's happening on the palate. It's quite ethereal and we are super pleased to show you this wine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled sea bream with lemon and herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoats cheese with seasonal greens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeafood pasta with garlic and olive oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is Crete's answer to a 1er Cru Chablis. A unique wine, true to the Cretan terroir, showing class, elegance and mystery. I particularly love its refreshing mineral profile with a zest of lemon, a touch of apple peel and a little herbaceous refreshing bitterness on the finish, very evocative of the smells of the vineyard in the Spring.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLyrarakis Wines\u003c\/strong\u003e is a family-run producer established in 1966 in Crete’s Heraklion region.
