Tensions and aromas that are universally captivating. Concentrated apricot, jams, figs, figs, raisins, thyme honey and spices, always, of course, through the floral signature of Muscat, which here emerges in the form of candied rose. It's hard to describe the explosion but also the crystal clarity of the aromas. The palate has a very nice richness but...
The harvest for the three varieties is simultaneous with Mavrodaphne at high maturity but Araklino and Korfiatiko at an earlier stage, providing the blend with serious vitality and excellent acidity. A wonderfully balanced wine with moderate volume and elegant tannins with texture that gives a sense of fullness in the mouth without a trace of astringency....
Such a special wine could only have an equally special name. The name Metagitnion refers to the second month of the Attic calendar (roughly late July to late August). Its almost orange colour is the result of slow oxidative ageing in old barrels without the protection offered by sulphites at any stage of the process. It is dry, with aromas of honey and...

Produced from Moschatela grapes grown on the Paliki peninsula of Kefalonia, the wine begins its journey with destemming and gentle crushing of the grapes. The resulting grape must, including the skins, is transferred into 700L French clay amphorae. Maceration takes place during alcoholic fermentation, which lasts approximately 30 days and is carried out...
The fruit for Orange Muscat comes from the privately owned autirio vineyard, at least 50 years old, which gives very low yields and is cultivated with biodynamic and organic practices. The harvest takes place in the first half of August. The health and maturity of the grapes is a key factor in the subsequent maceration with the skins, which takes place in...
The care and the philosophy in the winery does not change, since for the classic Mavrodaphne, which does not carry the organic certification, Slavos chooses gentle natural vinification of the grapes. The wine will mature for twelve months in 500lt barrels, exuding a pleasant herbal sensation, with fresher, red fruit than the organic Mavrodaphne and almost...
The rosé bio is vinified in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts, following the gentle, natural winemaking approach that Sklavos applies to all his wines. Interventions are minimal, and total sulphur levels are kept low—just 50ppm. This alternative interpretation of the Mavrodaphne variety results in a rosé with refreshing acidity, a fairly...
It's hard not to be captivated by Lakomata, a great expression of the dynamism and greatness of the Kefalonian Robola. The aromas of the wine do not stop evolving in the glass, the ripeness plays with the freshness of the acidity, the character in the mouth is complex and the wine clearly gives you a sense of fullness. This is one of the most divine wines...
Sklavos' unstoppable experimentation both in the Robola zone on the slopes of Mount Ainos and on the peninsula of Paliki yield small quantity vinifications every year that through the philosophy of the winery elevate the sense of the terroir from which they come. Pernari is a single-vineyard vinification from a vineyard in the Lakomati subzone with its...
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks without the addition of commercial yeasts, relying instead on native fermentation. The wine remains on fine lees for an extended period, which imparts a pronounced “yeasty” character alongside the vibrant fruit. On the palate, the acidity is tense, sharp, and linear—bringing precision and energy that...
