Kir Yanni Paranga 2005, Macedonia, Greece -- Unwined Online Shopping Cart
$14.99
-- Bright, red blend of Xinomavro, Merlot & Syrah- from Northern Greece
Kir-Yianni, which means "Sir John" in Greek, was founded in 1997 as a
premium spin-off of the Boutari Group. Though the first vintage was
1990, it was not until the 1995 vintage that the wine was bottled under
the Kir-Yianni name. More than half of their labels are single vineyard
growths on the eastern and western slopes of Mt. Vermio in Macedonia.
They grow indigenous Greek grapes as well as some international ones
such as Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc.
The native grape Xinomavro is most commonly compared to Nebbiolo from Italy's Piemonte, or Pinot Noir. High acidity and bright red fruits with a bit of cinnamon and
pepper spice characterize this unique wine. Delightful with pasta dishes- both vegetarian and meat or poultry variations.
