Kotsifali, Lyrarakis 2025
Red Wine from Greece - Greece
Kotsifali is one of Crete's most exciting native varieties, producing rich, juicy, darkly fruited reds with supple texture, great freshness and bags of blackberry and cherry fruit. This organic example from leading producer Lyrarakis is well worth a try. Things are pretty lively in Lyrarakis’ vineyards, and their willingness to experiment and adapt is exactly why we’ve chosen them as a Wine Society Pioneer. Sheep graze between the vines, while chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks have all been put to work too, alongside wild plants, mixed crops between the vines and newly planted fruit and walnut trees. In hot, dry Crete, water is precious, so irrigation is largely reserved for young vines, with soil sensors helping work out when it’s really needed. The vineyards and olive groves are farmed organically, and they’re even monitoring how biodiversity changes from year to year. Back at the winery, rooftop solar panels provide power, including charging three electric cars. A lovely mixture of old-fashioned farming and new ideas, with nature given plenty of room to muck in.
