A surprising white wine based on a very little known grape variety, tsaousi. Old 60-year-old vines, always frank of foot, cultivated biodynamically on the vineyard of Monampeles in the southwest of the island of Cephalonia. The vines are raised according to biodynamic principles and are bottled without sulphiting or filtering. Pale yellow in color with golden highlights, this vintage offers aromas of peach, apricot, kumquat and ripe apple. The fruit found in the middle of the mouth is supported by a crisp acidity giving the wine an excellent hold. A successful work on an almost unknown grape that leaves us on a beautiful finale. To accompany without hesitation with the delights that can be found in the islands of the Ionian Sea!

Euryviadis Sklavos produces and markets a great range of wines with an emphasis on local varieties. However, what has made him more widely known is that he is regarded as the guru of biodynamic cultivation in our country.
Based on Lixouri in Kefalonia, the first vineyard was planted in 1919 and from there began production based on local varieties (Robola, Vostilidi, Mavrodaphne) and fancy blends between them. The crop has been strictly organic since 1986, and in recent years the shift has become 100% biodynamic. The philosophy of the Slave Estate is based on respect for and love for nature with the aim of giving the size of a plant without giving it stress and stress. It is a method of harmonizing the plant with its environment, so that the best possible result is achieved. The production is characterized by very low crop yields (400 kg per acre), highlighting of local soil diversity, the vines shape, large vineyards age, minimal human factor interference and faithful application of biodynamic protocol. No yeast is added to the winemaking and the wine is filtered raw, unfiltered and unfiltered. There are currently about 80,000-90,000 bottles being produced with the aim of reaching 120,000 in the coming years, while the impressive statistic is that 70% is exported to other countries with the first ...
