Wine maker’s notes
From collaborating vine growers’ vineyards located at selected regions of Central and Western Macedonia in Northern Greece, like Imathia, Pella and Goumenissa. Since our founding year in 1997, we foster longstanding cooperation with local vine growers, transferring know-how and supporting their efforts all-year-round. Our goal is to contribute to the preservation of unique viticultural traditions and to offer incentives to younger generations to carry on this precious heritage.
The hand-harvested grapes are rigorously sorted on conveyor belt. Cold soaking. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures and periodical lees stirring (batonnage) for a period of up to 5 months.
Bright lemon color. The nose is vibrant and fruit forward, with stone fruits and citrus, and delicate floral notes on the background. The mouth is lean, crisp, and balanced leading to a refreshing finish.
An ideal choice to enjoy by the glass, as well as to accompany a variety of lighter flavors. Try it next to green salad with citrus dressing, grilled vegetables, fish and chicken, pasta with fresh veggies sauce and lemony creamy notes.

About Kir-Yianni
Kir-Yianni was founded in 1997 by Yiannis Boutaris, one of the leading figures in the Greek wine industry, when he left the Boutari Wine Group, the premium family wine company that his grandfather established in 1879.
Today, Stellios Boutaris, a member of the fifth generation of winemakers, leads Kir-Yianni into the next phase of its history, by dynamically exploiting the cornerstones of the Kir-Yianni philosophy: the desire for innovation, respect for tradition and true knowledge of the wine, from the grape to the end consumer.
