The KIR-YIANNI company was founded in 1997 by Yiannis Boutaris. Based in Naoussa and Amyndeon, on both sides of mount Vermion in Northwestern Greece, the winery carries on a long history of family tradition, focusing on the production of premium wines with authentic character, and appealing to the modern consumers. Today, the Kir-Yianni team, under the direction of Stellios Boutaris, son of Yiannis, prepares with vision the next step of the Estate’s evolutionary course, building on the core pillars of the company’s philosophy: innovation, respect to tradition and specialized knowledge on wine, from the vineyard to the final consumer. 

Die Weinberge des Gutes befinden sich an den Ausläufen des Vermion-Gebirges.

An der östlichen Seite, mitten in der geschützten Ursprungsbezeichnung Naousa, befindet sich der Weinberg von Yiannakochori, der eine Gesamtfläche von 56 Hektar auf  250-350m Höhe abdeckt. Auf ton- und sandhaltigen Boden werden hauptsächlich die autochthone Rebsorte Xinomavro, aber auch Merlot und Syrah kultiviert.

The Kir-Yianni Estate in Naoussa is located in the area of Yiannakohori, at the highest point of the viticultural zone. The vineyard lies on an altitude of 280-300 meters and has a total surface of 58 ha. The vineyard is planted with Xinomavro (50%), Syrah (15%), Merlot (20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), while the rest of the area is planted with various experimental varieties. This vineyard will be exploited in the effort to develop the “new generation” of Xinomavro products, which is a basic axis of the Estate’s development strategy.
