Kir Yiannis also makes a fabulous Mavrodaphne! Yes, you read that right! Daphne Kir Yianni is a Mavrodaphne from Naoussa, with unparalleled finesse and tones of juicy red fruits and purple flowers.
We really like the new "experiments" of Stellios Boutaris at the Kir Yiannis Estate. It started with a Malagouzia, later came the Cuvee Scaperdas Freres and next to it we also met Daphne, a Mavrodaphne different from the others! But how did Mavrodaphne get to Naoussa? In 2005, it was planted in the privately owned vineyards of the winery, in Naoussa, for no apparent reason. Maybe they wanted to use it as a blending component, maybe they knew that in the future a single varietal expression would impress the wineloving audience. The grapes were picked at the right time and the wine fermented and matured in oak tonneaux for 12 months to create Daphne Kir Yianni.
More delicate and more aromatic than the ones you have tried, it is ready to accompany elegant meat dishes!
