Laurens Hartman is or should be a case study in the Greek wine scene. He came from Holland, tired of the urban way of life and searching for a place he could enjoy life. Who could ever imagine that this place would be the unfriendly Amyndeon?

That wine is produced from a block named Barba Yannis with ungrafted bush vines more than 100 years old. It is aged 24 months in new French oak barrels and 12 months in the bottle.

Here we are back to "business as usual". It screams Sauvignon Blanc from the first moment. It is worth mentioning the absence of barrel in the vinification process in contrast with the older vintages.

It is very educational to observe the differences between two old vintages.

I was curious to taste this wine, and honestly, I did not expect it to be drinkable.

This award-winning wine offers great pleasure and is a shining jewel in the Greek wine market and our cellar, of course.

It is an easy-drinking sparkling wine from Kir-Yianni Estate and Amyndeon region that would cool down nicely on a hot summer day.
