Origin

DYO ELIES DRY RED is produced by Kir-Yianni, a renowned winery located in the Amyndeon region of Northern Greece. This area is known for its high-altitude vineyards and favorable climate for quality red wine production.

Variety

This wine is crafted primarily from indigenous Greek grape varieties, with a focus on Xinomavro, a signature red grape of the Amyndeon region known for its aging potential and complex flavor profile.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from selected vineyards and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve the varietal character. The wine is aged in oak barrels to develop complexity and structure before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red color with garnet hues.
  • Aroma: Intense aromas of red berries, cherry, and subtle spicy notes with hints of oak.
  • Palate: Medium to full-bodied with firm tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of ripe red fruit complemented by earthy undertones.
  • Finish: Long and persistent finish with a refined structure.

Food pairings

DYO ELIES DRY RED pairs excellently with a variety of dishes including:

  • Grilled red meats such as lamb and beef
  • Hearty stews and casseroles
  • Aged cheeses like Manchego or Pecorino
  • Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces
