Domaine Karanika, Extra Cuvee de Reserve 2017
Sparkling Wine – Xinomavro, Zero Dosage
Login to see pricesThe flagship. A stunning sparkling blanc de noirs of unique expressiveness and extraordinary bubbles.Yellow-gold, illucent like the setting sun reflecting on the seawater.
Full-frontal and charmingly fresh fruits, salt-marinated lemon peel and hay, blending in a flirt with the nasal senses that lasts for a long time. The fruits of the earth and the labour of our hands deserve celebration, which we find in the soul of this glass.
