In the arsenal of unusual Cretan
varieties painstakingly revived by the
Lyrarakis family, Dafni stands out as
one of the most idiosyncratic and
distinctive grapes. It is enough to
associate its name with its aromas to
perceive the intense botanical
character that is the trademark of the
rare and highly aromatic variety. The
nearly extinct grape is nowadays a
micrograph of all those things we love
about Cretan wine and the Lyraraki
family today. Authenticity, unique
character, persistence and people
totally dedicated to fighting against
the odds bringing a vinous gem to
our glass.
