Sparkling Wines

Sparkling Wine - 100% Xinomavro The flagship. Made from 100% Xinomavro ungrafted vines. A sparkling blanc de noirs with the traditional method. Unfiltered. Razor sharp and very aromatic. Expressive nose of citrus, stone fruits and herbs. Everlasting bubbles. Aged for at least 12 months on the lie. Riddled and disgorged by hand.

It was only a matter of time before Karanika decided to make the Assyrtiko sparkling with the traditional method. Not on its own, but blended with 30% Xinomavro. A Champagne style blend without any additives. Highly elegant and subtle. Not so much body but very rich taste. Refreshing acidity, and rich nose with lime, chamomile, pear brioche, and nutty in the end. Very long and impressive length. Aged 24 months on the lie. Riddled and disgorged by hand.

Xinomavro 95% - Asyrtiko 5% With sparkling wines be designated as world class, the vintage Rosé Brut Domaine Karanikas could not be an exception! Enjoy it directly or ideally , if you do not hurry , wait 2-3 more years.

Domaine Karanika, Amyndeon Xinomavro The aromas are of a wine with long ageing on its lees. Lovely bready, yeasty aromas with hints of smoke and truffles set against a clean background. The wine is bone dry, but incredibly supple. Its elegance defies gravity. You could stick this mature flavour bomb of citrus, nuts and honey into a grand Champagne tasting, and you would be hard pressed to know it wasn’t an extremely good example of Premier Cru from the Montagne de Reims. Such subtlety and elegance. It still tastes young and whilst it could be drunk with pleasure now, it will carry on ageing gracefully for a decade!
