Here Alpha Estate delivers masterful use of drum lessons , with elements of wood to highlight the characteristics of the variety , leading to a large, 'varelato' Sauvignon Blanc from the Greek vineyard.

To undisputed "star" of the report "Froth and Bubbles 2011": A Blanc de Noir sparkling wine from the 'cold' Amyntaio and top Xinomavro that 'seals' in the bottle, the passion, the need for creativity, but also the fascination of discovery, which dominates the Dutch-with Greek roots-winemaker Laurens Hartman.

Lawrence Hartman makes excellent white and red wines in the boutique winery in Amyntaio, but rightly bears the title of specialist in sparkling. The third series of the hit in the category of sparkling wines made with the traditional method, combines Assyrtiko and Xinomavro in proportion 60-40 and characterized by tremendous freshness, intensity and elegance.

Asyrtiko makes wonders not only in the volcanic soils of Santorini, but also in cold areas such as Amynteo and at high altitudes. In 2004, Kyri Yianni Estate planted Asyrtiko on the hill of Samaropetra at an altitude of 700 meters and the result justifies that decision! An excellent wine and worthy of the reputation of the variety, kneading into new oak barrels where it remains for maturing for 8 months, acquiring a very complex character.
