Kir Yani
Знаковата за винения регион на Науса и като цяло за Гърция изба Кир Яни (Kir-Yianni) е основана през 1997г. от Янис Бутарис, една от водещите фигури в гръцката винена индустрия, когато той напуска Boutari Wine Group - семейната компания за висококачествени вина, създадена от дядо му през 1879 г. Днес Стелиос Бутарис, петото поколение винопроизводители във фамилията, води Кир Яни към следващия етап от нейната история, като продължава да изповядва основните принципи на философията на Кир-Яни: желание за иновации, уважение към традициите и истинско познаване на виното - от гроздето до крайния потребител.

Nausa
The wine region of Naousa is located at the foot of Mount Vermio, where it is said that the god of wine Dionysus lived; today, the first recorded evidence of viticulture dates back to 1700, when the reputation of the best wine in the Ottoman Empire spread far and wide; at that time, local varieties such as Xinomavro, Negoska, Prekniariko, and others were grown in the vineyards of the area; in 1905, the first modern Greek wine - the famous 'Naoussa Boutari' - was bottled in Naousa, and in 1971, the Naousa wine region was designated as a protected designation of origin (PDO) area.

Syrah
Syrah/Shiraz - Two names of one and the same grape variety - the winemakers from the Old world use Syrah and the ones from the New world - Shiraz. The grape is a deep red, even the pulp, therefore this variety is not suitable for blanc de noir wine style. Syrah wine has specific floral aromas in its youth and develops notes of herbs and spices such as white and black pepper as it ages. These varietal specifics come out better when blended with a small amount of Viognier - a method gaining popularity more and more around the world. Syrah produces wines capable of ageing and improving over decades, which enhances its plummy and almost oriental spicy flavours.
