Why You'll Love It
Xinomavro makes a rosé with rather more personality than your standard pale pink. Fragrant and refreshing, it combines strawberries and juicy stone fruit with floral lift and a subtle herbal edge. The palate is crisp but not thin, gaining a little extra texture from time on its fine lees. Brilliant as an aperitif, but equally happy alongside grilled prawns, Greek salads, mezze or simply seasoned chicken.
About The Producer
Kir-Yianni was founded in 1997 by Yiannis Boutaris, a visionary winemaker central to the revival of modern Greek wine. A longstanding champion of indigenous varieties, the estate has been instrumental in revealing the potential of Xinomavro in Naoussa and Amyndeon. In Naoussa, vineyards spanning varied aspects, soils and elevations up to 280 metres are divided into 42 individually managed parcels, allowing for precise, site-driven expressions. Yiannis first planted Xinomavro here in 1970, at a time when many growers were abandoning vines. In Amyndeon, Greece’s coolest wine region, Kir-Yianni pioneered plantings on poor, sandy soils at 700 metres, producing refined Xinomavro and vibrant Assyrtiko. Today, the estate is led by fifth-generation winemaker Stellios Boutaris, whose focus on sustainability, terroir expression and ongoing research continues to shape Kir-Yianni’s modern identity.
Winemaking Information
The grapes are rigorously selected before being pressed directly, preserving Xinomavro’s freshness and delicate colour. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 17–19°C. The wine then rests on its fine lees for three months, with occasional gentle bâtonnage adding texture and complexity without diminishing its bright, crisp character.
