Winemaker Notes

Inspired by the Acacias grown around the Xinomavro vineyards of Amyndeon, this is the only Greek AOC rosé. KIR-YIANNI AKAKIES is an austere, yet sensual wine with rich taste and refreshing acidity. Its nose is full of fresh strawberry and red forrest fruit aromas, while its color is deep rosé and intense.

 

Viticulture

The vineyard lies at an altitude of 700 meters within the viticultural zone of Agios Panteleimon, in the Amyndeon Appelation in Northwestern Greece, the only Greek AOC for rosé wines. The vineyard’s mean yield does not exceed 40 hl/he. The soil is sandy and poor, thus offering the possibility of producing wines of exquisite quality and rich aromas. The microclimate of the region is characterised by cold winters and warm summers, while the four neighbouring lakes contribute to the existence of a mild continental climate.
