The Dafní grape variety was saved from extinction by the Lyrarakis family, when it was planted in the “Psarades” family vineyard at 480m. altitude in central Crete in the early '90s. Its name derives from the laurel (bay leaf) plant, which is called “Dáfni” in Greek, as the wine produced resembles these aromas. A wine with a distinctive herbal character, refreshing mouthfeel and intense aromatic aftertaste, in a citrus fruit background.
Bright and refreshing wine with aromas of rosemary and laurel with notes of citrus flowers and resin. On the palate there is a slight salty character, en excellent harmony and freshness with a fully aromatic aftertaste of herbs and citrus fruit.
