Company description:

““Lyrarakis” is the family name of brothers Manolis and Sotiris, who established the winery on the island of Crete, Greece in 1966. Today, Lyrarakis Wines is run by the second-

generation winemakers, supported by an extended family of skilled professionals. We continue to explore Crete for forgotten varieties and unique terroirs, aiming to produce wines with distinctive character.As sustainability advocates, we transitioned to organic viticulture in 2020 and a significant percentage of our cooperating farmers managed to do

the same. As part of our regenerative approach, we have stopped ploughing the ground and only use our own fertilizer made of organic waste from our kitchen, the winemaking

process, and the nearby oil mills. Adapting to climate change, we have been moving to higher altitudes and replacing our trellising to the lyre system, among other measures.”
