2022 Aggelis Liatiko, Lyrarakis, Crete
A single vineyard planted more than a century ago with own-rooted Liatiko vines. The low yields lead to small grapes of exceptionally high density, which are vinified, almost uncrushed, in small vats. Aromas of sour cherry, wild berries, liquorice, notes of wild thyme and sea spray mingle together. This is a beautifully balanced wine with vibrant acidity and a mouthfeel that is fruit-driven yet with a supple frame of tannin.
