Lyrarakis, Okto Barrel Vidiano, Crete 2022

Bottled exclusively for The Wine Society, this is a textural and alluring Vidiano which, albeit fresh and vibrant, has the grip and weight to serve as a winter white. 24 hours of skin contact have contributed with texture, fleshy richness and a slight tannic pull, all of which help define the lemon curd, peach and grapefruit flavours. The subtle touch of oak - perceptible in the toasted almond and hay nuances - adds complexity and depth.
