Syrah
Vidiano
In the winemaking history of Crete, there is a symbol, ideogram 131, which signifies the concept of wine in two ancient scripts: Linear B and Cretan Hieroglyphic.
Produced only in the finest vintages, SYMBOLO is a wine commitment we have kept since 2005, when we had the inaugural release of SYMBOLO as a celebration of a great vintage.
Ever since, 4 other vintages (2008, 2012, 2014, 2017) were deemed worthy of the SYMBOLO title until the newest vintage of 2019 which we believe sets a new milestone in the Symbolo history of Lyrarakis Estate.
Beautifully ripened and concentrated grapes of Syrah and Mandilari welcome the vibrant white Vidiano which offers a new face to the blend and firm yet rounder structure.
The grapes were sourced from our finest vineyard sites, macerated gently and aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels.
