Pale salmon-pink in colour. The nose opens with floral aromas, followed by stone fruits and strawberries, with subtle herbal notes in the background. On the palate, stone fruit flavours continue, supported by vibrant acidity that brings crispness and balance. The finish is harmonious and refreshing.

The grapes are sourced from the Macedonian region of northern Greece. Vineyards are carefully selected for their soil composition, vine health and diverse topography and morphology. The vines have an average age of 40 to 60 years.

Grapes undergo rigorous selection on a conveyor belt followed by direct pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 17–19 °C. The wine remains on fine lees for three months, with occasional gentle bâtonnage to enhance texture and complexity.

Kir-Yianni was founded in 1997 by Yiannis Boutaris after he left the historic family business - Boutari Wines. A visionary winemaker, Yiannis played a key role in the revival of Greek wine. The estate championed indigenous varieties long before they gained international acclaim and was instrumental in defining the potential of the native red Xinomavro.
