Analytical Data
Τhe small blue tractor (pronounced “Ble Tracter” in Greek) used by Yiannis Boutaris during the first vine plantings in Naoussa in 1970s, has inspired the name of this wine. With respect and firsthand experience of the dedication and hard work required (virtus et labor), KIR-YIANNI pays a tribute to Greek Vine Growers, as well as to the value of collaboration, a principle championed by the Estate from the very beginning.
From collaborating vine growers’ vineyards located at selected regions of Central and Western Macedonia in Northern Greece, like Imathia, Pella and Goumenissa. Since our founding year in 1997, we foster longstanding cooperation with local vine growers, transferring know-how and supporting their efforts all year round. Our goal is to contribute to the preservation of unique viticultural traditions and to offer incentives to younger generations to carry on this precious heritage.
The grapes are hand-harvested and taken to a vibrating sorting table for rigorous selection. Skin contact. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures (16-18⁰C). The wine stays on fine lees for 4 months with periodical mild stirring (batonnage). The final blend is made before bottling.
