Description
Kir Yianni (greek for Mr John!) is the cutting edge winemaker in the modern Greek wine scene. In the 90’s Yianni Boutari sold his share in Boutari the oldest and most established wine name in Greece. Over the decades Yianni acquired his own prime vineyards. In 1994 they released their first wines and with his son Stellios they have championed “Xinomavro” the red grape of Greece grown in Naoussa (Alpine county of Macedonian Greek mountains) and Amyndeon. They have done extensive research and development, clonal selection with xinomavro and they have gone from strength to strength. This grape is regarded as the “Pinot” or the “Nebbiolo” of Greece for its fragrance, freshness and tannin profile. Light in colour and body it has intense and complex aromas, naturally high acidity and rich tannins – an ageworthy, savoury and structured wine.
About this wine .. The viticultural zone of Naoussa, lies on the foothills of mountain Vermio in Macedonia, covers an area of 500 ha at an altitude of 80- 350m.
