This is one of the 500 Magnum bottles of the best Greek sparkling wine.
Xinomavro is a variety that has all the necessary characteristics to produce great sparkling wines. It is no coincidence that many compare it with the Pinot Noir, one of the main varieties in champagne.
This was the reason that changed the life of Laurens Hartman and his wife Annete, who left Holland to fulfil their full of bubbles dream in cold Amynteo.
Their pride and joy, the Brut Cuvee Special, is produced from selected Xinomavro vines older than 40 years, cultivated with organic and biodynamic methods near lake Vegoritida. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle with the traditional method of Champagne (méthode traditionnelle), which can be costly and tiring, having to manually rotate the bottles every day, but it rewards them with wonderful autolytic aromas and flavors that make the Karanika Brut Cuvee Special truly unique.
Described as a world class sparkling wine and getting rave reviews by experts of champagne such as Tom Stevenson, the Brut Cuvee Special Domaine Karanikas simply confirms every year that it is probably the best Greek sparkling wine.
