On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with acidity that provides energy without being harsh, and with exceptional quality effervescence—delicate and persistent. A sparkling wine with precision, clarity, and balance.
The Cuvée Spéciale Brut from the Karanika estate is produced using the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle from 98% Xinomavro and 2% Asyrtiko, sourced from organic vineyards on the Amyntaio plateau at an altitude of 650 m. The soils are 60% sandy and 40% clayey, while the cool continental climate maintains high acidity and aromatic purity. Primary fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 18–22°C with minimal sulfites and no additives, while secondary fermentation in the bottle lasts 12 months on the lees. With just 2 g/L of residual sugar, the wine stands out for its crisp acidity, purity, precision, and the quality of its effervescence. A sparkling wine that showcases the region’s potential in sparkling wines.
