Karanika 2016 Cuvée de Réserve Brut Nature

100% Xinomavro. Red fruits, subtle cherry and pomegranate, with a freshly punched down dough-rising-kind-of-freshness, and a bit of apple blossom. While the fruit aromas seem ripe and almost candied, the finish is bone dry and carries a moderately long finish. Delicate mousse. This Greek Méthode Traditionelle sparkler with less than a gram of residual sugar is simply superb, and more than a bit special. Organic.
