Each sip reveals breathtaking complexity, a testament to the exceptional care taken in its production. This exceptional wine pairs beautifully with hearty meat dishes, making it a delightful choice for special occasions.

Ruby with bronze hues, a color typical for the Xinomavro sourced from Amyndeon. Intense aromas of wild strawberry and cherry entwine with fine herbal hints, while on the palate the pronounced freshness balances with the medium body, offering a wine with great elegance, a great ambassador of Amyndeon’s terroir.

About the Winery

Kir-Yianni

The Kir-Yianni winery, now operated by his sons Stellios and Michalis Boutaris, continues to uphold the traditional values of its founder without losing sight of continuous innovation. In 1997, it became ‘Kir-Yianni’, to encompass the spirit of its founder and the team's commitment to excellence.

Their boutique approach to wine production is fondly reflected in their red wine label "Ramnista", a Xinomavro that delivers a bold, complex palate. Concurrently, their white varietals, such as Malagousia and Assyrtiko, are delicately balanced and captivating. Kir-Yianni’s vineyards spans over two regions, Amyndeon and Naoussa which, collectively boasts over 40 hectares of carefully tended vines.
