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.
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.
Nutty salads, grilled white fish or lemon and herb chicken.
