Lyrarakis Wines

Lyrarakis Wines
Arkalochori, Crete, Greece4.8

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Alagni, Heraklion, Lyrarakis Wines is more than just a winery—it’s a legacy. Established in 1966, this family-run estate has been pivotal in bringing back to life some of the near-extinct grape varieties. Spanning over 14 hectares, the vineyard’s altitude and limestone-rich soil contribute to the unique flavour profiles of their wines. Whether you’re trying their fragrant Vineyard Lyrarakis Vilana Pyrovolikes or the aromatic Lyrarakis Plyto Psarades Vineyard, each bottle tells a story of passion and dedication.
