Ramnista Magnum Kir-Yianni Domaine

Ramnista Magnum by Kir-Yianni Estate is the large-bottle format of one of the most classic and recognizable wines of Naoussa. Made exclusively from Xinomavro, it comes from selected vineyard blocks of the Estate and shows the variety in its more structured, earthy and deep expression. In Magnum, it gains even stronger presence at the table and evolves more slowly, something that suits a wine with such intense character and ageing potential very well.

In the glass, it has a ruby color and a nose with cherry, sour cherry, plum, spices and notes of chocolate. On the palate, it is dense, lively and well structured, with ripe red fruit, clean acidity, firm tannins and a long finish that leaves the classic, earthy signature of Xinomavro. This is not a wine that needs to be rushed. It asks for a little time in the glass or in a decanter and rewards you as it opens up.

The winemaking of Ramnista is based on detail and the separate handling of each vineyard block. The grapes go through strict sorting, followed by cold pre-fermentation maceration and fermentation in a combination of French oak vats and stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures for 14 months in French oak barrels, before the final blend is created from the best micro-vinifications.

The Magnum bottle gives Ramnista a more collectible and celebratory character, without taking anything away from its authenticity. It is a choice for gifting, ageing or tables with food that can stand next to a serious Xinomavro. It pairs excellently with red meats, game, lamb, beef, mushrooms, rich red sauces and mature cheeses. A red Magnum with structure, history and the most classic voice of Kir-Yianni Estate in Naoussa.
