Vin Doux Du Soleil: This wine comes from the traditional variety of Moschato of Kefallinia that is cultivated in the area of ​​Katogi of Palli and belongs to the category of products with a Protected Designation of Origin. The altitude of the vineyards is less than fifty meters and the age of the vineyards is more than sixty years. The soil composition is calcareous with linear planting in a cup-shaped shape. Characteristic is the high humidity during the ripening period during the evening hours (malatsa).

To create this wine we use ripe healthy grapes which are harvested in the first fortnight of August and spread in threshing floors under the sun to partially dehydrate. In the produced must due to the increased content of sugars the alcoholic fermentation is not completed, which stops naturally, resulting in the presence of unleavened sugars. The final product is the result of aging in French oak barrels with a capacity of five hundred liters.

The aromatic character is reminiscent of aromas of dried fruits such as figs and raisins, the acidity is balanced, the wine has a mild sweet taste with a long aftertaste.

During the Venetian occupation in Kefalonia, this wine was a eponymous product of the Venetian state.

It is a dessert wine in a limited number of bottles.
