Kir Yianni Xinomavro Sparkling Brut N.V.

Clear, pale lemon in colour with a lively, frothy mousse. The nose is vibrant and expressive, showing varietal aromas of peach and apricot alongside enticing floral notes. The palate is refreshing and crisp, with a well-defined backbone and an invigorating, fruit-driven finish.

Varieties are selected based on high natural acidity, lower sugar levels and optimal phenolic ripeness, key criteria for this sparkling blend. The grapes undergo a 12-hour pre-cooling period prior to pressing. The fermented base wine is then transferred to a pressure tank for second fermentation, where it remains in contact with its lees for five months. Following bottling, the wine is aged for a further five months before release.

The grapes are carefully hand-harvested from selected parcels belonging to partner growers across the wider Macedonian region of northern Greece. The area benefits from marked diurnal temperature variation and a diverse landscape shaped by the interplay of mountains and nearby water bodies, including sea influences, lakes and rivers, creating ideal conditions for quality viticulture.
