“Like a hug” – this is how Master of Wine Yiannis Karakasis describes Liatiko. Working off of this friendly description, one could describe the Lyrarakis “Queen” red as a “half-hug”, being fresher in style and more relaxed. Medium garnet in colour, it’s sweet-scented with aromas of lambert cherries, wild berries, pomegranate and marmalade. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannins, radiant red fruit flavours, and a fine finish. When enjoying this wine, serve it slightly chilled. Lively and unpretentious, it’s a great match for pork gyro.
