Thrapsathiri Armi 2024 - Lyrarakis Winery

Sorry guys, we ran out of this one {{item.CannotBuyReason}}
Why do we love it?

If you want to try a rare Greek single varietal that climbs 500 meters up the Cretan mountain slopes, Thrapsathiri Armi Lyrarakis is for you. Armi yes, because that's what the Cretans call the top of the mountain because that's where this Thrapsathiri was cultivated. But when you talk about Giorgos Lyrarakis, only the top is high enough.

Thrapsathiri Armi Lyraraki was vinified in oak barrels to make it even richer and matured there for three months. Its buttery character combined with the expression of the aromas of the variety will make you want it again and again.

But hurry because he bottled are limited.

Tastes Like

On the nose, it is complexly impressive. Pear, green apple, vanilla and citrus fruits with bursting spices create a perfectly balanced ensemble.

The fully integrated barrel gives you a rich and buttery mouth that is interrupted by its high acidity. Long and lemony aftertaste.

Lyrarakis Winery

Lyrarakis Winery was founded in 1966 in Heraklion, Crete, by brothers Manolis and Sotiris, making it one of the oldest on the island. Today, it is run by the second generation, who continued the mission of reviving local grape varieties, achieving impressive results. Vidiano, Plyto, Thrapsathiri, and Dafni are cultivated organically, with fertilizers derived from the organic waste of the winery, resulting in truly unique outcomes.
