An amazing Greek white natural wine!

Why do we love it?

Kleftes Markou Vineyards symbolize the hope, the daydreaming, and the fragile nature that a Savvatiano without sulfites can have, just like the dandelion flower (in Greece we call it Klefti). In fact, according to the tradition, if you put a thought on every seed and then blow it, it will transmit it to the people you love, no matter how far away they are. This is how Nikos and Vassilis Markou chose the name for the first natural Savvatiano, from organic grapes!

Savvatiano has come out of obscurity for good, repeatedly proving that it can and does give great white wines, fresh or for long aging. Although the "stigma" of its previous bad history, makes many to be negatively biased towards it, its successes catch the eye and one cannot help but love it. Fortunately, the young winemakers know its capabilities and believe in it perhaps more than in any other Greek variety. We suspect that they know something more ...

In its first natural, without sulfite vinification, Kleftes Markou Vineyards prove that the versatile variety can make it wonderfully even in the difficult and demanding category of natural wines. The results speak for themselves and Kleftes show that Savvatiano is among the Greek varieties that can give natural wines character and aging potential.

Even if you are not a fan of natural wines, this is so good that you should not miss it!
