Kir Yianni

Macedonian wines anchored in Xinomavro, shaped by continental climate and mineral soils.

Kir Yianni produces wines from Macedonia, Greece's northern region, where continental climate and mineral-rich soils shape distinctive expressions of both indigenous and international varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on Xinomavro, a native Greek grape known for its structure and aging potential, alongside Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Diaporos, a pure Xinomavro wine, demonstrates the variety's capacity for complexity and depth. Ble Alepou blends Merlot, Xinomavro, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon into a multi-layered red, while Dyo Elies combines Syrah, Merlot, and Xinomavro. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Falstaff, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter, reflecting the winery's engagement with international critical standards. The range reflects a commitment to exploring how Macedonian terroir shapes both local and cosmopolitan grape varieties.
