Analytical Data
The weather conditions were typical of the region and rather mild for the most part of the growing season. The high altitude of the vineyard, along with the good temperature difference between day and night, helped during the hot and dry months of June and especially July. The grapes ripened fully under mild conditions; they were healthy, aromatic, with good acidity.
Harvest: By hand on 6th of September 2025. Thanks to the good weather conditions, the yield of the block reached approximately 8,000 kg of grapes per hectare.
The block #11, known by the name ‘Bara’, is located at the celebrated ‘Samaropetra’, KIR-YIANNI Estate’s main vineyard at Agios Panteleimonas in Florina, Northern Greece. Reaching 720 meters above sea level, this is one of the highest altitude cultivations of Malagousia in the country.
