Meet Giannoudi with lift-off energy. The Kyriakides family takes this wonderful local grape and lets it fly — no heavy oak, no makeup, just pure, juicy personality. A playful twist comes from six months on fine lees (borrowed from Xynisteri), adding a subtle textural groove without stealing the spotlight from the fruit.
Think crunchy cherries, a flick of wild herbs, and a slightly cheeky medicinal hint that keeps things interesting. On the palate it’s bright, bouncy, and refreshingly youthful, with a tiny peppery kick and tannins that show up just enough to remind you this wine means business — but in a cool, easygoing way.
Serious grape. Zero stiffness. All vibe.
Fresh, expressive, and just a little rebellious — like a Red Balloon drifting exactly where it wants. 🎈
