Elegant and introverted aromatically, it has elements of the character of Muscatella, which anyway constitutes 70% of the blend. Ripe fruit, bergamot and ripe lemon, with citrus blossom and a vegetal quality reminiscent of the green part of the bud before it opens. Wet earth and earthiness intensify the layering of the aromas. The palate is more spicy...
As the name of the variety suggests, Zakynthino travelled years ago from Zakynthos - where it is known as "Pavlos" - to Kefalonia. This is where the similarities end, as both in terms of wine and taste profile, the wines from the two islands are extremely different. The Zakynthino of Sklavos follows a protocol of mild natural vinification in 500lt barrels...
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....

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...

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...
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...
