Sclavos Sweet Mavrodaphne of Cephalonia

Even though Slavos is the pioneer of dry bottling of Mavrodaphne, Kefalonia for the time being grants the PDO Mavrodaphne of Kefalonia Protected Designation of Origin only to sweet fortified wines. The zone extends in different parts of the island (surprisingly also in the southern part of neighbouring Ithaca) but its centre is the peninsula of Paliki. From there, Slavos produces a rare, small-production sweet version of the variety, after drying the grapes. Multi-layered, ripe fruit, reminiscent of figs, notes of dried herbs and excellent freshness on the palate which has a silky texture and is still very young. Perfectly balanced despite its sugars, this is a wine that promises both pleasure and longevity.
