Kir-Yianni Xinomavra Sparkling Brut

Kir-Yianni Xinomavro Sparkling Brut NV is a dry, lively sparkling wine from Kir-Yianni, made from the indigenous Xinomavro grape native to northern Greece’s elevated vineyards (around Agios Panteleimonas in Florina). The high altitude, cool nights and mineral soils give the base wine notable freshness and aromatic clarity.

In the glass it pours with fine, persistent bubbles and a pale lemon hue. The nose offers a fruit-forward yet refined bouquet of red berries (raspberry and strawberry), citrus (lemon and subtle orange), floral lifts and a hint of orange blossom, a lively profile that’s fresh rather than heavy.
