The Cuvée Spéciale Brut from the Karanika estate is produced using the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle from 98% Xinomavro and 2% Asyrtiko, sourced from organic vineyards on the Amyntaio plateau at an altitude of 650 m. The soils are 60% sandy and 40% clayey, while the cool continental climate maintains high acidity and aromatic...

The pre-phylloxera vines of Xinomavro are located in the sub-zones of Sioska, Nivigratsko, Bara, Petres, and Pedino, while the Limniona comes from Levea. The climate is continental, with cold...
Crémant du Jura Blanc de Noirs comes from wines from two different vintages, 2020 and 2021. The Pinot Noir vines are planted on clay and limestone soils with a south and west orientation. The 45-year-old vineyards have been cultivated organically and biodynamically since 1999, with limited interventions and the use of their own compost. Harvesting is done...
On the one hand, the structure and body of Xinomavro, and on the other, the liveliness and refined character of Asyrtiko, come together to create a unique blend that makes the classic Campania combination of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay seem almost predictable. With a philosophy of minimal intervention, extremely low sulfur levels, and prolonged contact with...
Murray takes its name from the words Mulberry (Mu) and Rare (Ray) in reference to the choice of the old villagers to leave berry farming to plant White Muscat which responded well to the conditions of the area. It is an excellent expression of the local topography, as fresh as the air of the Monferatto mountains, sweet and cool at the same time. Its...
With the Extra Cuvée de Réserve, Laurens Hartman breaks new ground, truly entering a new realm where the world’s finest sparkling wines rightfully belong. Precise, crystalline, with acidity that prevails but never crosses the line into harshness, it perfectly balances freshness and absolute dryness on one hand, with a toasty and creamy character on the...
Brachetto has been cultivated in the area around the town of Acqui Terme for centuries, but it was only in the 1950s that this sparkling, sweet, low-alcohol style began to be produced using the Martinotti method. It is perhaps one of the most ideal dessert wines. Airy and light, it can be paired with a wide variety of fruits such as strawberries and even...
Made like champagnes, from biodynamically grown vines and nearly two years of contact with the lees after fermentation in the bottle, Jo Landron's Atmospheres is a blend of 36% Folle Blanche, 33% Pinot Noir and 31% Chardonnay. Yeast character, earthy notes and super dry mouthfeel in a wine that drinks like a wine two and three times more expensive than it...
A different approach on the Moschofilero of Mantineia with the base wine being aged in French oak barrels before starting the second fermentation process in the bottle and the total stay of the wine for 19 months in contact with the lees. Generously expressive and spicy, with acidity balanced by the few residual sugars, this is a sparkling wine that is an...
Milia Riza's Blanc de Noir Agiorgitiko comes exclusively from the estate's organic vineyards located on sandy clay soils in the Xerocampos and Poria locations. The base wine will remain in contact with the lees for a few months in stainless steel tanks with periodic stirring of the lees and then "inoculated" again to carry out the second fermentation in...
Expressive yet calm on the nose, with exceptional aromatic clarity, perfectly showcasing the wonderful floral character of Moscato. Fresh notes of green tea add finesse to the fruit’s sweetness, evoking summer. Imagine a ripe fruit salad of peach, apricot, grape, melon, and a few basil leaves. Airy on the palate, with low alcohol and gentle effervescence,...
