Wine is at the heart and soul of Greek gastronomical life. Since antiquity and up until the 17th century, Greece was considered the greatest source of fine wine in the world. Today modern Greek winemakers are again cultivating the ancient lands of their ancestors and taking advantage of the idyllic mountain and maritime ecosystems. Both the mainland and islands are home to over 250 ancient grape varieties. Greek wines are unique in their history. More importantly, they are balanced, have high acid and minerality, and are perfect when paired with the indigenous cuisine. They exemplify the tapestry of soils and climates that make Greece geographically perfect for wine making. Our team at Lyra has deliberately curated the wine list to predominantly support artisanal producers and small farmers from the various regions of Greece. Enjoy, and as the Greeks say, Kali Orexi!
