BRUT CUVEE SPECIALLE 2021- DOMAINE KARANIKA

A perfect world class sparkling wine
19.80 18.00

When Laurens Hartman and his wife Annete came to Greece from Holland and planted their vineyard in Amynteo this is precisely what they had in mind. A world class sparkling wine from Xinomavro that would be able to compete heads on with Champagne in the world markets. The result is totally fantastic.  Brut Cuvee Specialle is made mainly from Xinomavro with a small addition of Assyrtiko. The vines which are more than 40 years old are cultivated under the principles of biodynamic and organic cultivation. For the second fermentation the méthode traditionnelle is used (the method used in France for Champagne production). It is not by coincidence that international champagne experts, such as Tom Stevenson, offer amazing reviews for this sparkling wine which will be the jewel in your cellar.

TEAR OF THE PINE 2022 – KECHRIS ESTATE

So many awards, so exciting retsina
12.00 10.91

[product_subtitle] We must be grateful to Kechris Estate because Tear of the Pine, with its numerous awards and gold medals in so many international competitions, is changing perceptions about Greek retsina, which some years ago was one of the few wines the Greek vineyard was known for and its quality was not impressive. Tear of the Pine is a very exciting new definition of Retsina. It is made of assyrtiko which is cultivated in Goumenissa, an area well known for its wine production at the north part of Greece. Different oak barrels are used in terms of their origin and type and the wine remains for 6 months on the lees where resin from the bark of pine trees is added. Its colour is lemony. The nose is an aromatic combination of mastic, pine and rosemary that comes from the resin and lemon with hints of lime which comes from Assyrtiko. The mouth is very balanced with full body and high acidity complemented with tobacco, toast and biscuit.
