Kir-Yianni 'Akakies'- Sparkling Rose

This 2023 sparkling rose wine from Kir-Yianni is crafted from 100% Xinomavro grapes. Kir-Yianni, founded in 1997 by Yiannis Boutaris, is one of Greece's largest vineyards. After over 30 years at Boutari, a leading Greek wine brand established in 1879 by his grandfather, Yiannis used two top - notch vineyards to start Kir - Yianni. These Xinomavro grapes are grown 600 meters above sea level in sandy soils in Amyndeon, Greece. The wine is bursting with intense fruit flavors. You'll taste wild strawberries, white - fleshed cherries, and a hint of tomato. With its lively acidity and a bit of sweetness, it's a very food - friendly and versatile wine. Enjoy it on its own or pair it with fried fish for a delightful experience.

To enjoy this Kir - Yianni Sparkling Rose Wine, first, chill it in the refrigerator for about 2 - 3 hours. You can serve it in a champagne flute to best capture its bubbles and aroma. When pairing with fried fish, the wine's acidity will cut through the oiliness of the fish, making for a great combination. If you're drinking it on its own, take small sips to fully appreciate the complex fruit flavors. Store the opened bottle in the fridge and consume it within 2 - 3 days to keep its freshness. And remember, don't shake the bottle before opening to avoid excessive fizz overflow.
