The grape
Where it's from
Naoussa
Greece
On the slopes of Mount Vermio in Greek Macedonia, and the classic home of Xinomavro. Structured, high-acid reds often compared to Barolo, with red fruit, tomato leaf, olive and spice. Serious wines that need time and reward patience. One of Greece's best-known red appellations.
Meet the producer
Kir-Yianni
Macedonia, Greece

More from Kir-Yianni →The story behind it
Sourced from young vines in the high-altitude vineyards of Amyndeon, this wine reflects the unique terroir of Northern Greece. The region's cool climate and sandy soils contribute to the wine's distinctive character and finesse.
If you like these, you'll love this: Fans of Chablis, Albariño, or other crisp, mineral-driven whites will appreciate this Assyrtiko's balance and purity.
