SPEC | Vintage 2022

▸ Rich, deep ruby colour with blue hues. ▸ The nose reveals complex aromas of blackcurrant, plums, black pepper, and vanilla. ▸ On the palate, it is dry with balanced acidity, soft tannins, a full body, and intense aromas of black fruits, pungent and sweet spices, and some herbal notes. ▸ HOMEAGE TO THE GREEK GROWER: Next to Kir-Yianni’s vineyards are those of professional viticulturists with many of whom we have been collaborating with since the beginning of the Estate in 1997. This collaboration includes the scientific support by a team of agronomists throughout the year and finally the purchase of grapes. With this cooperation, we strengthen the local community and contribute to the preservation of the rich viticultural tradition in key viticultural zones of Central and Western Macedonia, such as Florina, Imathia, Pella and Goumenissa. In these areas, there are currently about 70,000 acres of vineyards and 14,000 vine growers. ▸ Part of the blend matures in oak casks, while the final blend undergoes malolactic fermentation, and the wine stays in the bottle for 2 months before release.

Food pairingsThis modern, fruity, well-balanced wine pairs well with meat dishes and Mediterranean cuisine, and is also enjoyable on its own.
