Description

Greece is a land steeped in viticultural history, where a new generation of talented producers is pursuing modern visions of winemaking, taking advantage of a wealth of characterful, indigenous grape varieties to produce unique wines.
The selection of wines in this mixed case is emblematic of this trend for producing wines with savoury textures, joyful, uplifting fruit, polished tannins, bags of energy and freshness. Above all these are wines of incredible value for money and easy, immediate enjoyment.

Case price: £79 (10% saving on single bottle price, total saving of £8.80)

The case contains 6 bottles, one each of the following:

2013 Domaine Lyrarakis, Misitirio Dafni, Crete (white) x 1
One of the region’s most ancient, indigenous varieties. Layers of complex botanical flavours and refreshing finish.

2013 Diamantakis Winery, Vidiano (white) x 1
The ideal accompaniment to a variety of seafood, pasta and poultry dishes.  Oily, expansive, textured, but redolent of lemon, bergamot and pear too.

2013 Domaine Lyrarakis, Okto Red  x 1
Native varietals Kotsifali and Mandilari combine here with the better-known Syrah to create a red wine of great finesse with a delicious berry fruit character.

2013 Domaine Sigalas, Mavrotragano, Santorini (red) x 1
This celebrated example of Santorini’s rare but characterful Mavrotragano grape embodies a wine harvested from very low yields.  The result is a big, bold wine brimming with red-berried fruit, notes of fig, orange peel and spice.  High octane stuff, but an excellent accompaniment to roasted meat, richly-flavoured dishes and mild cheeses.

2014 Domaine Skouras, Moscofilero, Peloponnese (white) x 1
Delightfully aromatic with lemon zest aromas and with complex minerality and textured mouth feel. Weighing-in at only 12% this aromatic example of one of Greece’s most celebrated white wines provides us with a perfect match for a variety of sea fish, shell-fish salads, embellished rice and pasta dishes, but also as a wonderful refreshment on its own. 

Domaine Lyrarakis, Malvasia of Crete, Greece (white- sweet) x 1
A historic wine which enjoyed huge success for 300 years while Crete was ruled by Venice. there is a high degree of lusciousness with rich, grapey, apricot-and -honey aromas and plenty of weight on the palate, but there is also a real sense of elegance and freshness to the wine. Serve it with creamy fruit desserts or simply with ripe, stone fruit such as peaches and nectarines
