DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Kir-Yianni is a wine estate in Macedonia, northern Greece, founded in 1997 by Yiannis Boutaris and led today by his son Stellios. The North is its Assyrtiko from Amyndeon, which the estate's UK importer calls Greece's coolest vine-growing region. The vineyard sits at 700 meters in the Agios Panteleimon district, near Florina, and the vines are fairly young.
It is 100% Assyrtiko. The poor, sandy soil keeps yields low and gives aromatic grapes. The wine is fermented in tank and rests on its fine lees for four to five months before bottling. Expect a dry, crisp white with stone fruit, citrus and white blossom on the nose, lively acidity and a clean, lightly mineral finish. Fresh and focused.
Serve at 46 to 50°F in a white wine glass. Try it with grilled fish, shrimp saganaki, Greek salad with feta, or roast chicken with lemon and oregano.
Bottle size: 750ml
