Καρανίκα Ξινόμαυρο

The viticultural richness of the Amyndeon region is staggering and Lawrence Hartman relies on 60 and 100 year old vines to produce this super-strong Xinomavro, an "ode" to the specific mountainous terroir. This is a wine of stunning elegance, with tannins on the palate that feel as if they have been embroidered, combined with the floral and fruity character that is a hallmark of the region. Lawrence himself worked the extractions only with pigeage to extract the elements of the grape with absolute gentleness, fermented in traditional foudres, lowered the sulfites a lot and the result he achieved managed to enchant us. Red fruit like crisp cherries, raspberry floral character, sun-dried tomato, olive, expressiveness, but above all, electric energy that permeates the body from head to toe.
