Domaine Foivos on the Ionian island of Captain Corelli has been attempting 'wrinkle-free' maturation of its wines – with some fascinating results.
Theodore Orkopoulos (pictured above among his beloved old, ungrafted vines), managing director and winemaker of Domaine Foivos on the Greek island of Cephalonia, contacted me in June this year to tell me about a philanthropic event they were planning, 'with a daily ferry boat tour of the small south island of Kefalonia Vardianoi, for Greek and British wine lovers', plus a tasting of around 30 of their wines.
How could I refuse his offer to taste the wines...
