About Sclavos Metagitnion

By definition, August is the month of festivities, harvest, and wine. The month of celebration, reunions, and revelries. It has always been this way, since ancient Greece. In this civilization, which organized time according to the Attic calendar, this month corresponded to Metagitnion (the second month of this almanac), named after the Metagitnias (literally translated as the neighbourhood festivals), where various rituals and sacrifices were performed. For this reason, and because some things never change, Sclavos Metagitnion arrives, an ideal white wine to continue celebrating and commemorating.

Sclavos Metagitnion is produced at Sclavos, a Greek winery located in the Ionian Islands (specifically on the peninsula of Paliki), which is considered a pioneer of biodynamics in Greece. This company, which predominantly follows a natural and environmentally respectful approach, was founded in 1919 on the slopes of Mount Laskaratos. Nearly three generations later, Sclavos remains a benchmark in winemaking, focusing on indigenous varieties such as vostilidi (a typical variety of the island cultivated in vineyards over 90 years old). In this area, close to the sea, the grapes mature slowly due to the influence of this body of water, which mitigates thermal contrasts between day and night and cools the clusters during the hottest hours.

Thanks to this dynamic, the harvest can be delayed until the first half of September, the optimal time to pick the grapes and take them to the winery for the production of Sclavos Metagitnion. Here, after a manual selection on the vibrating table, the grapes will be pressed in stainless steel pneumatic presses (in a nitrogen environment). The importance of wood in the production of Sclavos Metagitnion cannot be overlooked, as this wine will ferment and age in 500-litre French oak barrels from Allier. This process, where the must transforms into wine, is carried out spontaneously by the indigenous yeasts present in the terroir.

And that's about it! Sclavos Metagitnion is bottled unfiltered and unfined. Let the festivities continue!

2022

Sclavos Metagitnion 2022 is a full-bodied white wine with a creamy texture that is evident with each sip. On the nose, it reveals aromas of green apple and peach, accompanied by a subtle hint of vanilla, a result of its barrel aging. On the palate, it is well-balanced with a refreshing acidity that enhances its fruity flavours, leaving a smooth and lingering finish. Perfect for those seeking a white wine with character and finesse.
2021

Sclavos Metagitnion 2021 is a creamy, strong and fiery white. Light golden in colour, it is very aromatic on the nose, with fruity notes (apple, peach) and a strong touch of dried raisins. The palate is vibrant and warm. Long and persistent finish.
