This wine is made from 100% Zykanthino and comes to us from the certified Organic and Biodynamic producer Evriviadis Sclavos, who is the driving force behind the Sclavos winery and one of the pioneers of natural wine production in Greece.

This local variety is cultivated in the Elios area of ​​South Kefalonia. It originates from Zakynthos, settled by monks 400 years ago. The plateau of Elios-Pronnon has a southwestern exposure of loamy clayey soil and is directly influenced by the mountain range of Ainos which gives excellent conditions for the development of this grape.

The harvest of the Zakynthino varietal takes place in late August and is done by hand. The fermentation is done with skin contact throughout the process and maturation is done in concrete tanks for about a year. The wine is then bottled without filtering. The extraction process emphasizes freshness in combination with acidity and tannins and leads to a special result of a complete wine with a great aftertaste.

The wine produced is characterized by aromas of ripe peaches with a rich body and balanced acidity - perfect for cured meats and spiced Asian dishes.
