Employing traditional methods, including gravity flow systems and natural clarifying agents like Montmorillonite clay, Domaine Karanika ensures that each bottle reflects the purity and character of its origins. 
 

Among their acclaimed offerings are the Karanika Brut Cuvées, crafted from the versatile Xinomavro grape using the traditional méthode champenoise. These sparkling wines have garnered international recognition for their quality and finesse, standing as a testament to the winery's commitment to excellence. 
 

Domaine Karanika's dedication to sustainable practices and their passion for winemaking have positioned them as a leading producer in Greece's wine renaissance, contributing significantly to the global appreciation of indigenous Greek grape varieties.
