2024 Kir Yianni Florina Assyrtiko 'The North'

This beautifully textured Assyrtiko hails from the cool-climate Amyndeon region of Northwestern Greece, where nearby lakes help balance the extremes of hot summers and cold winters. Grown in sandy, low-nutrient soils, the young vines yield a wine that’s aromatic and mineral-driven, with notes of waxy peach, golden pear, delicate white flowers, and a savory, saline finish. Aging on fine lees adds depth and roundness, making this a natural pairing for baked fish, creamy pastas, or a spread of Mediterranean cheeses. From one of Greece’s top producers, Kir-Yianni, this is Greek white wine with poise, polish, and personality.
