Description

Sclavos Wines’ Zakynthino 2023 is a characterful expression of a rare Greek grape variety that is increasingly at risk of disappearing. From Kefalonia, biodynamic pioneer Evriviadis Sclavos makes a gently oxidative, minimally handled white that highlights both the grape’s individuality and the island’s limestone soils.

Tasting Notes
Clear golden straw in the glass, with a rich-looking, almost viscous appearance. The restrained nose brings yellow fruit and dried fruit alongside herbs, root-vegetable notes, biscuit and caramel, touched by a sweet, oxidative character. The wine spends nine months on its lees, adding natural texture and depth. No specific cellaring window is provided; enjoy it while its layered, oxidative profile is expressive.

Production
The Zakynthino vines grow in limestone-influenced soils on Kefalonia. Vineyard work is biodynamic, and the grapes are selectively hand-harvested before spontaneous fermentation. The wine is aged on its lees for nine months in a lightly oxidative style, allowing it to stabilise naturally. It is bottled without fining or filtration, with only a small addition of sulphur shortly before bottling.

Food & Serving
Try it with grilled or roasted fish, seafood, poultry, or dishes featuring herbs and earthy vegetables; its oxidative notes should also suit aged cheeses. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. Decanting is optional, but a short period in a carafe can help open the aromas.

Producer
Evriviadis Sclavos is regarded as a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in Greece and is known for a natural approach to winemaking. Based on Kefalonia in the Ionian Islands, he has helped bring attention to the region’s distinctive local varieties. This bottling makes a particularly persuasive case for Zakynthino, a grape whose future is increasingly uncertain.
