Press review:

The Wine Advocate: “The Kir-Yianni 2025 Assyrtiko ‘The North’ is a playful interpretation of a grape more commonly associated with the southern Greek islands. Grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Macedonia, it shows impressive linearity and precision with delicate aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and summer flowers. The wine is taut and clean on the palate, driven by vibrant acidity and a strong sense of inner tension. By cultivating Assyrtiko in northern Greece, Kir-Yianni captures a cooler, more restrained expression of the variety, emphasizing freshness, aromatic finesse and mineral structure. Drink now-2029.” 92 points
