A beautifully expressive Greek red wine from the sun-soaked hills of central Crete.
Lyrarakis Kotsifali 'Queen' is a vibrant, medium-bodied red that brims with personality. Bright ruby in colour, it opens with enticing aromas of red cherries, juicy plum, and a hint of warm spice. On the palate, this elegant Kotsifali red offers layers of ripe dark fruit, balanced by savoury undertones and a lift of juicy acidity. The tannins are smooth and rounded, leading to a long, fruity finish with just a touch of Mediterranean spice. A brilliant example of how Crete’s native grape can deliver both freshness and charm in equal measure.
