Goumenissa Kyr-Yianni Warehouse 10

Goumenissa by Kyr-Yianni Warehouse 10 is a red wine that opens a different chapter for Kir-Yianni. After the Estate’s deep connection with Naoussa and Amyndeon, here Xinomavro travels to Goumenissa and meets Negoska, the local variety that gives a rounder, calmer and more approachable dimension to the blend. The result is a PDO Goumenissa with character, freshness and a more velvety expression than a classic Xinomavro from Naoussa.

In the glass, it has a ruby color with greyish highlights. The nose is intense and earthy, with red fruits, cassis, plum, sun-dried tomato, clove, pepper and a subtle earthy feel that blends beautifully with the character of Xinomavro. On the palate, it is rich but not heavy, with lively acidity, rounded tannins and a long finish that leaves fruit, spices and a more gastronomic mood.

The essence of the wine lies in the blend and the place. Xinomavro from the Bintabla vineyard gives structure, acidity and earthy intensity, while Negoska softens the tannins, brightens the acidity and makes the whole wine more harmonious. The heavy red clay soils of the vineyard help build depth and complexity, without taking away the wine’s freshness.

Goumenissa by Warehouse 10 is ideal for those who love Xinomavro, but want to see it in a softer, Goumenissa-style expression. It does not have the austerity of a classic Naoussa, but it has clear identity, a food-friendly character and a beautiful balance between fruit, earth and spice. It pairs very well with game, beef, lamb, slow-cooked red-sauce dishes, sun-dried tomato, mushrooms, rich sauces and mature cheeses.
