Here we have an amazing Assyrtiko from vineyards that are organically grown in Domokos, which ferments with the native yeasts, remains for 5 months with its fine lees as 50% of the wine enters oak barrels of second use. It very nicely combines the austerity of the variety with its friendliest characteristics when grown outside Santorini.

There, in the area of ​​Heraklion, he chooses Vidiano grapes from mountainous vineyards, manufactures them with mastery in three different types of pots, amphoras, inox tanks and new barrels.

An amazing Assyrtiko from Crete and the Manousaki winery in Chania with excellent value for money.

Having 'understand' fully Xinomavro, the next step for the Kir-Yianni winery seems to be exploring and celebrating diversity through the different available 'terroirs'.
