2025 Lyrarakis Mandilari - Crete, Greece
What happens when you've got two punchy, characterful dishes (one southern Italian inspired, the other northern) that are desirous of the flavours of a spirited red wine but not necessarily the density and structure?!? Unexpectedly, there's a particularly exciting option from the Greek island of Crete...
If you've never heard of the Mandilari grape, you're in good company. In the hands of Lyrarakis, it gives a wine of vivid, transparent crimson, exploding with flavours of raspberry, heirloom tomato and Mediterranean herbs—but it's handily low in tannin, weight and alcohol. Chill it down somewhere between fridge and room temperature and watch it evaporate with this month's features.
