MONEMVASIA 2021 - KTIMA KYR-YIANNI

Monemvasia Kir Yianni is a new proposal by Stellios Boutaris that smells like Aegean breeze. The grapes of the viticulturist Arsenis Loukis from Paros were the basis on which Stellios stepped to create a delicate, aromatic wine with refreshing acidity, which shouts summer from afar.

Stellios Boutaris landed in the Aegean in order to highlight the local varieties and transport us to the islands. The first stop was in Paros and Arsenis’s Loukis vineyard. Monemvasia may come from the Peloponnese, but in Paros, it makes excellent PDO wines, with a slightly mineral character. Monemvasia Kir Yianni is exactly like that. After the careful vinification of Stellios, the wine aged with its fine lees for 8 months. The result is oily, with crisp acidity and notes of green fruits and herbs.

Enjoy Monemvasia Kir Yianni with light summer snacks.

In the mouth, it has medium body, medium (+) acidity and a subtle oily texture. Pear, green apple, lemon, citron, lime zest, orange blossom and dried herbs compose an elegant bouquet.
