Kir Yianni Akakies Rosé 100% Xinomavro (3 Bottle Minimum)

Varieties: Xinomavro (100%)
Type: Dry Rosé Wine / Vegan Certified
Appellation: PDO Amyndeon

VINEYARD
On the warmest year ever recorded in the region, the consistent, systematic work in the vineyard, the vigilance in monitoring weather data, and the informed decision on the best time to harvest each variety were crucial components. We started harvesting Xinomavro for Akakies on 17 September 2024. As a late-ripening variety, it encountered rather mild weather conditions, contributing to grapes with high-quality features (acidity and phenolics).

WINEMAKING
The process begins with rigorous grape selection on a conveyor belt, followed by direct pressing. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 17–19°C, with periodic, gentle stirring of the fine lees (batonnage) for four months.

TASTING NOTE
Pale salmon-pink in colour, this rosé opens with floral aromas, gradually revealing layers of apricot, white-fleshed peach, tangy strawberry, and subtle herbal undertones. The same refined complexity is reflected on the palate, which balances lusciousness with crisp acidity and a delicate touch of tannins. The finish is harmonious and satisfying.
