Karanika Cuvée Brut Prestige 2016
(92)
(Blue label, a blend of 70% Assyrtiko with 30% Xinomavro in a parallel Champagne blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, 3 years on the lees). The top end of Karanika's impressive line up of sparkling wines. Fat and ripe with zesty acid along a core of tropical fruit. Creamy with fine mousse, definition and lingering finish. Hard to ask for more.
