AWL Product Portfolio A4 June19 PRF2 Product Portfolio 2019 The Lyrarakis Estate is a family winery which has been producing high quality wines since 1966 with a strong focus on rare local varieties and producing single variety wines. The family is credited with the revival of two ancient Cretan varieties, Dafni and Plyto while a third “vineyard treasure”, the indigenous Melissaki, is recently added to the credits. Surrounded by the idyllic setting of the vineyards and the Lassithi mountains we offer you the opportunity to enjoy nature and discover local varieties and wines distinguished by the uniqueness of their origin and heritage. Your Sales Rep: Clare Aslanidis 0407 006 376 Product Portfolio 2019 [email protected] VILANA Classification: Protected Geographical Indication Crete The white grape variety Vilana is indisputably a classic of the vineyard of Crete. Citrus-fruit and flower aromas, full taste with a refreshing acidity are the characteristics of this wine, produced from vineyards at an altitude of 500m. Enjoy it either as an aperitif or combined with white meats and salads. Wine making: Harvested by hand during the first week of September, the grapes’ fruity and aromatic balance is determined by sensory evaluation and assortment. The grapes were de-stemmed without being crushed and then subjected to a short skin contact. Fermentation was carried out in a stainless steel tank at 16°C - 18°C. Varietal Composition: Vilana 100% Alcohol by Volume: 12% Tasting Notes: Yellow colour with youthful green hue. Citrus and floral aromas with hints of white-fleshed fruit. The palate is medium and soft bodied with bright acidity. KOTSIFALI Classification: Protected Geographical Indication Crete The red grape variety Kotsifali is indisputably a classic of the vineyard of Crete. Spices and red fruits with an elegant mouthfeel and a piquant aftertaste are the characteristics of the wine which is produced from vineyards situated at 500m. altitude. Enjoy it together with dishes of the mediterranean cuisine, baked meat and spicy cheeses. Wine making: Hand-harvested. Exact harvest time defined by berry sensory assessment to obtain the optimum taste and aromatic balance. Fermentation with maceration on the skins for 7 days to extract the polyphenols with “delestage”. Temperature controlled fermentation between 24°C and 27°C. Inoculation with selected yeasts. Varietal Composition: Kostifali 100% Alcohol by Volume: 13% Tasting Notes: Intense ruby colour. Aromas that combine both fresh and mature cherry and black fruit. In the mouth is well balanced with an elegant mouthfeel and a refreshing and also slightly piquant aftertaste Liquor License # 50306935 Main Line: 0418 801 926 Orders must be submitted by 2.30pm for delivery Your Sales Rep: Clare Aslanidis 0407 006 376 Product Portfolio 2019 [email protected] DAFNI - PSARADES Classification: Protected Geographical Indication Crete The Dafní grape variety was saved from extinction by the Lyrarakis family, when it was planted in the “Psarades” family vineyard at 480m. altitude in central Crete in the early '90s. Its name derives from the laurel (bay leaf) plant, which is called “Dáfni” in Greek, as the wine produced resembles these aromas. Skin contact for about 14 hours, then tank fermentation at 18-20degs. Then matured on lees for a few months gaining depth of flavour and floral aromas. Varietal Composition: 100% Dafni Alcohol by Volume: 13% Tasting Notes: Bright yellow colour with glints of Green. Aromas of herbs such as laurel and rosemary with notes of flower and fruit, typical for this variety. Dry and harmonious with a balanced acidity. PLYTO - PSARADES Classification: Protected Geographical Indication Crete The Plytó grape variety was saved from extinction by the Lyrarakis family, when it was planted in the "Psarades" family vineyard at 480m altitude in central Crete in the early '90s. Timing the harvest is the most important decision for the winemaker. This year we achieved to make 3 harvests in the vineyard, based and focused on the average organoleptic characteristics perceived in 3 different stages of the maturation of the grape (green harvest at the end of July, first harvest at the first week of September and the last at the last week of September). In that way, by using 5% of unripe grape juice as well as 8% of a late harvest juice in the final blend, we managed to enhance the complexity of the wine. For the winemaking we followed the principals of classic white fermentation as well as aging 7% of the wine in 500lt new french oak. Fermentation is achieved by using selected yeast from a complete organic habitat (Bio Certificate). Only yeast derivatives were applied for the stability and natural fining of the wine. Varietal Composition: 100% Plyto Alcohol by Volume: 13% Tasting Notes: Bright yellow colour. Intense fruity aromas with hints of orange peel and both flowery and creamy notes. The dry in style mouthfeel with elegant citrus flavours and a straight line of steely acidity lends complexity to the honey yellow fruits.

Originally on the “Vóila” plain and subsequently in the extended surroundings, we discover exceptional vineyards where the great grape variety Assyrtiko thrives. The harvest was performed by hand seeking to obtain a proper fruit maturity. Skin contact was carried out at 12°C for 16 hours. Fermented in a stainless steel tank, this wine had a slow fermentation rate that lasted for more than 15 days. Varietal Composition: 100% Assyrtiko Alcohol by Volume: 13.5% Tasting Notes: Bright platinum colour. Pure floral aromas with ginger spices and delicate notes of ripe citrus. Marvelously ripe grapes have given this wine a crispy and rich mouthfeel with a mineral and chalky character. THRAPSATHIRI - ARMI Classification: Protected Geographical Indication Crete "Armi" is the word we use in the cretan dialect to define the top of a mountainside. The vineyard called “Armi” in our area faces the east and lies at an altitude of 500 meters. The medium fertility soil combined with the continuous influence of beneficial winds, compose a unique microclimate. In these special conditions, the Thrapsathiri variety can perfectly express the wealth of its aromas and taste. This wine can age well. The vinification starts with whole bunch pre-fermentation maceration followed by barrel fermentation in new French and American oak. Directly from the press, the free run juice was led into oak where fermentation and maturation on lees lasted for about 2 months. Only selected yeasts from a complete organic habitat (Bio Certificate) were used for the fermentation and stability of the wine. Varietal Composition: Thrapsathiri 100% Alcohol by Volume: 13.5% Tasting Notes: Bright yellow colour. Aromas of fresh citrus fruit are coupled with tobacco and liquorice notes from the aging in barrel. In the mouth, the flavour of nuts and cream are combined with a crispy texture and a persistent aftertaste of orange peel and quince.

Altitude, with sandy, stony soil. The head-trained pruning in combination with the north-east exposure of the vineyard and plenty of sunshine, ensures that the grapes reach optimum ripeness at the time of harvest. Very thorough cultivation helps us achieve extremely low yields, succeeding in vinificating a very concentrated wine with a deep red colour and an excellent structure, which will age for a long time. The wine was aged for 12 months in both old and new oak barrels, then stored in bottles for 9 months before being released. Varietal Composition: Mandilari 100% Alcohol by Volume: 13% Tasting Notes: Deep, intense red colour. On the nose, complex aromas of juicy plums, toffee and liquorice are superbly balanced by the chocolate and vanilla notes of it’s storage in oak. In the mouth it is well concentrated, with a lively lingering finish.

    estate 2020 SCOPRIAMO NUOVI SENTIERI ESTATE 2020 scopriamo nuovi sentieri Estate 2020: camminare lungo sentieri meno noti per scoprire le tante bellezze delle montagne e rispettare il divieto di assembramento. Scopriamo nuovi sentieri è l’iniziativa lanciata dal Club Alpino Italiano per ricordare che la montagna, i suoi sentieri e i suoi rifugi vanno frequentati con gradualità e responsabilità. Dopo le fasi più intense della pandemia, il Sodalizio ha proposto un ritorno alla montagna su itinerari meno noti, scoprendo nuovi sentieri e immergendoci nelle bellezze delle valli laterali e dei versanti meno frequentati, evitando in questo modo di creare assembramenti nel rispetto delle norme anti-contagio da Covid19. Dall’8 giugno al 15 agosto, ogni giorno dal lunedì al sabato gli itinerari sono stati pubblicati sui canali social ufficiali del Club Alpino Italiano (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) corredati da immagini, descrizioni, informazioni tecniche e in alcuni casi da video-interviste di presentazione. Gli itinerari sono alla portata di tutti, e non presentano particolari difficoltà. Di norma sono percorsi ad anello, cioè pensati con arrivo e partenza nello stesso punto, consentendo così di attraversare luoghi sempre diversi.

  • IONIAN DOLPHIN PROJECT By
    IONIAN DOLPHIN PROJECT By Information for Participants www.ioniandolphinproject.org Dear friend, Dolphins have permeated the Greek culture since ancient times. Countless artwork and several myths celebrate their strong and intimate bond with humans. For centuries, dolphins have been at the core of the Hellenic civilization and they are vividly portrayed in iconography throughout Greece. In recent times, however, dolphins have almost fallen into oblivion—their remnant iconic role being confined to tourist jewellery and postcards. While today's abundance of dolphins is likely only a fragment of what it was a century ago, important populations still live and reproduce in the Greek seas. Join the Ionian Dolphin Project and help us to ensure the long-term viability of dolphins living in coastal waters of the eastern Ionian Sea. For 30 years years, 1,500+ non-specialist participants from 40+ nations, encompassing the five continents, have participated in the IDP. They have provided us deeply needed support and helped us obtain crucial data. YOU will fuel science-based conservation action aimed towards a respectful management of the local resources, for the benefit of both dolphins and humans. During your stay with us, you will be part of a scientific team focused on the study and conservation of these amazing creatures in the beautiful coastal waters of western Greece. Here, you will work side-by-side with experienced researchers and conduct daily surveys at sea. You will see lots of dolphins, get to know them, actively contribute to field data collection and, back at the field station, help us download the data and process digital photos and scientific information.
