Paranga Red, an exquisite blend from the esteemed Ktima Kir-Yianni winery, showcases the unique terroirs of Northern Greece. Combining the indigenous Xinomavro with Merlot and Syrah, this wine balances the traditional Greek wine heritage with modern winemaking techniques. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the regions of Naoussa and Amyndeon, areas renowned for their distinctive microclimates and soil compositions, which contribute to the wine’s complex character. The winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the fruit, followed by a brief maturation in oak barrels that adds depth and subtle spice notes. Known for its approachability, Paranga Red has received praise from wine critics for its vibrant fruit profile and well-integrated tannins.
