Tarsanas is the flagship of the Kir-Yianni winery. Following great success with assyrtiko planted at high altitudes, the winemakers decided to use the fantastic structure of this wine to make an aged style. Tarsanas is a "single-vineyard" wine from the Samaropetra vineyard in the Naoussa region. After a rigorous selection of grapes, fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in French oak barrels of different ages. The wine ages in barrels for the next 8 months with occasional batonage. The result is a wine of vibrant yellow color. On the nose, there are aromas of apples, pears, and citrus. In the mouth, it is savoury and rich with flavors of stone fruits and delicate aromas of oak, accompanied by a pleasant crispiness. It has a long finish with a lightly saline character and excellent balance. An aged wine worthy of attention.
