“Vaimaki Family” is the urban winemaking project of oenologist Vasilis Vaimakis. An oenologist with vast winemaking experience, Vaimakis is also one of the first oenologists of Greece who explored the limits of natural vinification of Greek grapes with zero sulfites. Although Eklektikon’s portfolio is centered around growers, Vaimaki Family is the only exception to the rule, in order to represent the first Greek vintages of no-added-sulfite wines, under the iconic and ever-changing label “Mater Natura”. Vaimaki Family - Aperos Gaea Pet Nat 2020 Amyndeo (or “Amyntaio”) constitutes one of the most alpine climates of Greece, surrounded by lakes and at an altitude of over 600m. This makes it ideal for the production of sparkling wines from the humidity loving Xinomavro grape and...
Hild Elbling Sekt Brut #52 NV “Matthias Hild farms 5 hectares in the upper Mosel doing something that makes almost zero financial sense: saving old, terraced parcels of Elbling.

The joy of Elbling is its raucous acidity, its vigor and energy, the fact that it is so low in alcohol you could probably drink...

Alberici Lambrusco dell'Emilia La Fogarina Once thought to be extinct, this is 100% Fogarina from 60-year-old vines. Hand-harvested and organic. Frizzante (sparkling) and dry.
