Kir-Yianni Tarsanas Single Block Assyrtiko (3 Bottle Minimum)

Variety: Assyrtiko (100%)
Type: Dry White Wine
Appellation: PGI Florina

VINEYARD
Assyrtiko ‘Tarsanas’ is produced from block #10, located at the stunning KIR-YIANNI vineyard of Samaropetra at the village of Agios Panteleimon, in Amyndeon. It is one of the first plantings of the variety in the broader area, where we follow an organic cultivation protocol, together with the certified pest management applied to the vineyard.

WINEMAKING
Rigorous bunch selection on a conveyor belt. The berries are cooled down, and skin contact follows. Fermentation starts in a stainless steel tank and continues in French 225 L barrels (50% of 1st use, 50% of 3rd and 4th use). Maturation for 8 months in barrels with mild lees stirring (bâtonnage) during the first half of the maturation period.

TASTING NOTE
Bright yellow-gold colour. Intense nose with aromas of ripe peach, apricot and citrus, accompanied by notes of vanilla. The rich, creamy mouthfeel is balanced by the vibrant acidity. Great oak integration. Long, lingering finish.
