    Metagitnion is like an oxidizing Savagnin of the Jura region that landed on one of the steep coasts of the Paliki peninsula. From hundred-year-old, autiric vines of the Vostyli variety, Evriviadis Slavos produces the most "natural" of his wines. Metagitnion is the producer's memories of his grandfather, a wine which after pressing is put into 500lt barrels and foudres and left to ferment in peace. There it will remain for a year without any intervention from Evriviades. It is bottled with much love without adding anything and without sulphites. It is a distinctive, oxidative style, with power and volume reminiscent of red wine, carrying as a signature the characteristic honeyed stylistics of this unique local variety.

    More info

    Such a special wine could only have an equally special name. The name Metagitnion refers to the second month of the Attic calendar (roughly late July to late August). Its almost orange colour is the result of slow oxidative ageing in old barrels without the protection offered by sulphites at any stage of the process. It is dry, with aromas of honey and candied fruit, with a thickness, volume and concentration that cannot be matched by any white wine out there. The finish is slightly tannic and some years it may carry a few residual sugars as a "dowry", depending on the whims of the indigenous yeasts and the particularities of the vintage. Metagitnion is source of excitement because it is one of those few wines in the world that leaves more unanswered questions than it manages to solve. For example, how a wine, with no intervention and no extra sulphites, can age so beautifully over time.
