A Look at Kyma's Full Wine Menu: by-the-Glass Selections, Bottles, and Pricing
By Robert Thorne
The full bottle program stratifies across three distinct financial and stylistic tiers: approachable village bottlings, single-vineyard Cru selections, and museum-grade collector reserves. Entry-level bottles sit comfortably between $65 and $85, representing exceptional value for artisanal estates. The core sweet spot of the list, priced from $95 to $175, houses top-tier Santorini whites and aged continental reds.
Beyond the $200 threshold, Kyma’s reserve list houses rare verticals and benchmark international Mediterranean icons, reaching up to $650 for late-release volcanic Assyrtiko aged under sea water or historic vintages from the late 1990s and early 2000s.
| Varietal / Style | Glass Pour Range | Standard Bottle Tier | Reserve / Library Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moschofilero & Roditis (Mantinia / Patras) | $16, $19 | $65, $85 | $95, $120 (Aged / Amphora) |
| Santorini Assyrtiko (Cyclades) | $22, $28 | $95, $145 | $180, $450 (Old Vine / Nykteri) |
| Agiorgitiko (Nemea) | $17, $21 | $70, $95 | $130, $240 (Single Cru / Cellar Aged) |
| Xinomavro (Naoussa / Amynteo) | $22, $26 | $85, $125 | $160, $380 (Old Vintages / Grand Reserve) |
| Rare Autochthonous Reds (Limniona / Mavrotragano) | Seasonal Rotation | $110, $160 | $220, $550 (Limited Micro-cuvées) |
Bottle pricing remains competitive with high-end Mediterranean seafood competitors like Milos or Avra. Markups hover between 2.4x and 3.0x wholesale, tracking standard fine dining margins while providing substantial runway on rare indigenous vintages rarely imported in bulk.
