Product Notes

The Kir-Yianni Diaporos Single Vineyard Xinomavro is a sublime red wine emanating from Northern Greece. One is immediately taken in by its deep ruby hue and intense flavours. Exhibiting an intoxicating medley of black fruits, olives and spices, this wine has a robust profile and persistent finish. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, the wine possesses a lush tannin structure, exuding elegance and complexity. The Diaporos Xinomavro, a flagship offering from Kir-Yianni, encapsulates the richness of Greek viticulture and the distinctive character of the indigenous Xinomavro grape beautifully. Perfect with meats and richly flavoured dishes.

Tasting Notes

Deep red color with purple hues. The nose shows a complex aromatic character composed of successive layers of vanilla and chocolate notes from oak aging, and strawberry aromas typical of a young Xinomavro enhanced with floral hints, such as violet. The Syrah adds a spicy character while prolongs the aftertaste. The intense acidity adds zing to the rich, concentrated body, while the flavor intensity and the robust structure of the wine are a promise of a long aging potential.

About the Winery

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.
