Kir-Yianni Amyndeon Assyrtiko 2023 Fresh Surprising

Kir-Yianni Amyndeon Assyrtiko is a surprisingly mild Assyrtiko. It has mineral, talc, olive notes. But not being from Santorini, it doesn't have the aggressively dry, briney characters. Soft mouthfeel and therefore very drinkable. Kir-Yianni Amyndeon Assyrtiko is best young and fresh. Kir-Yianni Amyndeon Assyrtiko will pair with baked fish and olives. The Kir-Yianni company was founded in 1997 by Yiannis Boutaris. Based in Naoussa and Amyndeon, on both sides of mount Vermion in Northwestern Greece. With vineyards in Naoussa and Amyndeon planted to native and international varieties, they have scope to make some truly amazing wines. Their best is by far the Xinomavro based reds. Kir-Yianni Amyndeon Assyrtiko 2019 Winery Notes "On the nose the wine displays aromas of white fruits and flowers. On the palate, the citrus acidity balances with the alcohol and the round mouthfeel of the wine and finishes with a lingering aftertaste. An Assyrtiko wine with an intense character produced from young vines growing on the mountainous vineyards of Amyndeon."
