Psarades Dafni, Domaine Lyrarakis 2022

4 Reviews

Dafni, saved from extinction by the Lyrarakis family, could lay claim to being the world's most distinctive grape variety. Meaning 'laurel' in Greek, this dafni bursts from the glass with aromas of laurel leaf, stem ginger and lime. The palate is supple with soft acidity and plenty of citrus and herbs. A fascinating wine. Winners of our 2024 Climate & Nature fund, Lyrarakis will use our support to purchase a mower accessory for their tractor to manage under-vine weeds and cultivate cover crops. These are essential for adding nutrients into the soil, retaining moisture and reducing erosion. They also provide food and habitats for beneficial insects and pollinators and temper the summer heat for the vines.

One of my all-time favourite wines, unique and very beguiling. Dafni is an ancient grape – traces of which have been found in vessels at the nearby palace of Knossos, dating back more than 5,000 years – and was almost extinct until revived recently by the Lyrarakis family. An incredible perfume of bay leaves, ginger and rosemary with ripe apricot fruit and a little skin-contact grip; it would be a great match for the smoked salmon waffles.
