Kir-Yianni, Cuvée Villages Xinomavro, Naoussa 2022

£20.50

You will hopefully see over the coming weeks our foray into listing more Greek wines as we expand our portfolio. Here we have a new wine for us from Kir-Yianni, which 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.

Xinomavro is the grape variety; this Naoussa Cuvée Villages is produced from a strict selection of Xinomavro sourced from both the estate’s younger vines and small growers’ parcels across the different villages of the PDO Naoussa zone.

Lovely garnet in colour, strawberry/cherries on the nose (think aged Pinot) with a tobacco and spices, medium bodied. 14% vol.

I am fairly new to this grape variety and really excited from the wines we have tasted. Drink now and over the next 2 years. 95 pts Decanter magazine.
