    Karanika Brut Extra Cuvée de Réserve

    Domaine Karanika Domaine Karanika

    84,50 €

    A zero-dosage—completely dry—introduction to the beautiful world of the Karanika estate’s sparkling wines, with that kind of aggressive acidity that pierces you from head to toe and is as invigorating as waking up by splashing plenty of cold water on your face. This blanc de noir version, made from 100% Xinomavro and old vines from three different locations in the Amyntaio region, possesses crystal-clear purity and incredible intensity, acting as an “energy bomb” in the mouth. The extended aging period, exceeding 3 years, combined with the astonishing briny minerality and caramelized lemon, flirt with the perfection of a sparkling wine’s expression. An unforgettable finish, a true feast for all the senses.
