Naturally sweet wine from sun-dried grapes Malvasia of Crete is an exceptional quality sweet wine, which dominated for over 3 centuries the markets of the East and West during the Venetian rule of the Mediterranean (13th to 17th century). The Lyrarakis family, trying to revive the tradition, has vinificated a wine which is believed to be very close to the authentic Malvasia using native varieties of Crete. The family's belief is that the original Malvasia was a sweet wine resulting from a multi-varietal blend rather than a single variety.
