Kir-Yianni Assyrtiko 2024 is a 100% Assyrtiko from PGI Florina in Northern Greece, made by Kir-Yianni Estate. The grapes come from vineyards in the village of Agios Panteleimonas, on the Amyndeon Plateau at 600-700 meters, where poor, sandy soils and a cool continental climate give the wine its precision. It is fermented in stainless steel and aged for four months on fine lees for added texture. In the glass it is a vibrant lemon-yellow, with expressive aromas of ripe peach, apricot and citrus zest, plus white blossoms and a touch of wet stone. The palate is crisp and lively, with bright acidity, pure stone fruit and a subtle mineral backbone, finishing long and elegant with lingering citrus.

Why buy it: Assyrtiko is best known from the island of Santorini, and this bottle shows a different side of the grape, grown in the cool mountains of the north. It is a great pick if you enjoy crisp, mineral whites like Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño or Vermentino and want to try something new. It is clean, refreshing and food-friendly.

When to open it: Open it for a seafood dinner, sushi night or a sunny afternoon with friends. It also works as a refreshing aperitif. Serve chilled at 50–54°F (10–12°C) to highlight its crisp acidity without masking the stone-fruit aromas. It pairs well with grilled fish, Mediterranean salads and light poultry dishes.
