Domaine Karanika was founded by Laurens Hartman-Karanika and Annette van Kampen, a Dutch-based couple who left publishing careers in 2004 to pursue their vision of producing world-class, traditionally made sparkling wines. Drawn to the Xinomavro grape, they established themselves in Amyndeo, Greece, focusing on organic, low-intervention methods to craft precise, elegant wines. Their philosophy centers on working in harmony with nature - adapting to each vintage, minimizing manipulation, and farming biodynamically with natural treatments, composting, and lunar cycles. The result is a portfolio of wines that emphasize purity, balance, and a strong expression of terroir. The Cuvee Prestige is a blend of70% Assyrtiko and 30% Xinomavro from ungrafted vines. It is aged between 48 and 90 months sur latte depending on when it is disgorged. It rests for six months on the cork before it is released.
