Description

At the northwestern end of Greece, on the Amyndeo plateau, are our vineyards where the very old Xinomavro variety, the newer Assyrtiko, the Cabernet Sauvignon and the almost forgotten Limniona variety are cultivated with organic methods.

Karanika’s winemaking philosophy is that real quality is achieved only when there is complete balance in all aspects of the growing of the grapes and winemaking process that imposes minimal handling of grapes and wines with few to none chemical additions. We follow and flow with nature, instead of trying to control it which means no pumping of must and wines, but gravity, piegage, with the only addition of sulfites and Montmorillonite clay to the wine, and ‘homeopathic doses’ sprays to treat the vineyard instead of fertilizers and pesticides. 

We work according to Maria Thun’s biodynamic calendar in the winery and vineyard therefore our wines ‘breathe the terroir’, are crystal clear, very aromatic with a considerable after taste producing. 

The wines we produce are sparkling wines Cuvee Speciale, Cuvee Rose, Cuvee Prestige, Extra Cuvee de Reserve. The red Xinomavro and Limniona and the reddish Xinomavro. Sparkling wines are produced using the traditional Champesoise method.

TOUR AND TASTING

The tour of our winery starts from a “walk” through the vineyard, where everything begins, and continues at the winery’s premises and the wine cellar including a description and a presentation of the techniques used to reach the final products which tasting session completes the tour.
