Wine Orgion Mavrodaphne – Sclavos Wines – 750ml

Wine Mavrodaphne Orgion – Sclavos Wines – 750ml

Rustic wine produced with minimal interventions in winemaking and matures in barrels of 2nd, 3rd and 4th use, focusing on the varietal character, the delicious depth and refinement, by a mild-toned winemaker who chooses to speak with his work and the quality of his wines . Dried mavrodafnes are evolving into a reference point for the Greek reds and Orgion is one of the first wines of this style. If you only like fruity modern wines, choose another wine. But if you want to broaden your taste horizons, give it a try!

On the picturesque island of Cephalonia in Western Greece, near the town of Lixouri, Evriviadis Sclavos set up his winery with the mission to create not only a unique operation, but to elevate the local grape varietals (Robola, Vostilidi and Mavrodaphne) to a whole new level, not seen or tasted before. He has embraced organic, and biodynamic viticulture practices since the late 80’s. In addition, his low intervention practices translate to the use of only natural yeasts, no filtration or fining, and recently the addition of concrete tanks. Talking about wines with a sense of place, his are exactly that. Sclavos is meticulous, he has studied the soils and subsoils for decades, understands the relationship between soil and vine; he’s a true “terroirista”. Most of his vineyard in on rocky slopes, thus his famed, highly extracted Robola “Vino di Sasso” or wine of the stone. His ‘Metagitnion” white made by the local Vostilidi, is simply a huge wine, a blockbuster. Needless to say, these are intellectual wines, with a capacity to age
