Sclavos Zakynthino Orange

If we consider Sklavos' Zakinthino to be the producer's heretical view of the variety, the orange version, fermented with the skins, is absolutely subversive. Slavos vinifies a small piece of the grape in contact with the skins in a 1,700lt concrete egg and lets it "rest" without interference for a year. Originated from the Metaxas family's vineyard in Oropedios of Elios, which looks directly from the southern part of Kefalonia to the variety's homeland, Zakynthos, the result is simply amazing. A wine with deep orange colour, citrus peel, dried apricot, honey, almond and explosive minerality. What is truly sublime is the mouthfeel. Like a "doped" wine, with amazing tensions, excellent acidity and a phenolic dimension reminiscent of a red wine. Endless flavour, richness and perfect balance with the freshness of the wine. An explosion of flavour in the mouth with an incredibly long finish.
