Winery | The Single Block Barba Yannis is named in honour of Mr Yannis, from whom the single block of 3.71 hectares was purchased in 1994. The estate vineyard is located in P.D.O. Amyndeon, in the region of Macedonia, at an altitude of 620 to 710 meters above sea level. The vines are 100% ungrafted, pre-phylloxera Gobelet (bush) over 90 years old. The summers are hot, so to avoid extreme water deficit, a 'root zone drying irrigation' is used to ensure the optimum conditions for the nourishment and maturation of the grapes. The vines are grown in sandy clay over limestone soils, which provide excellent drainage. |
