Stellios Boutaris is the fifth generation winemaker, today heading up Kir-Yianni, founded in 1997 by his father, Yiannis, following his departure from the Boutari family business. Boutari, the largest and oldest wine company in Greece, had been established by Yiannis’ grandfather in 1879.

Kir-Yianni makes wine across two regions in the north of Greece – Amyndeon and Naoussa, with the aim of producing terroir driven wines that speak of place.

50% Merlot, 25% Xinomavro, 25% Syrah

The Paranga Red with charming aromas of red forest-fruits, cherry and sweet species and pepper are enhanced with fine notes of rose petals. The palate shows balance, a round mouthfeel, soft tanins and a long, aromatic aftertaste. Light and spicy with refreshing acidity and mild tannins render it as a simple and easy-to-drink every day wine.
