A ruby color with violet hues, this wine seduces with its intense and complex nose mixing ripe red fruits, violet and chocolate. The aromas are confirmed on the palate by lending itself to a round tasting, with velvety tannins, well coated. He concludes with a long, slightly herbaceous finish.

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 ...
