At the heart of Nemea, Zacharias Winery is a family-run estate with deep roots, producing wine since 1962 and counted among the region’s oldest producers. Led by winemaker Elias Zacharias since 1974, it balances tradition with a quietly modern approach, crafting wines that express place, grape, and time with clarity.

Sklava is a rare, ancient white grape of Nemea - one of the oldest in the Greek vineyard, once planted alongside Agiorgitiko and nearly lost to time. Revived by agronomist and viticulturist Elias Zacharias, it is today cultivated, vinified, and bottled exclusively by Zacharias Winery, with the first single-varietal release in 2014.

Made from hand-picked grapes sourced from the single vineyard “Douramani”, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged for six months on lees, building texture and depth. The result is a distinctive expression, with bright notes of citrus, apple, nectarine, and bergamot, carried by a subtle creaminess and a fresh, precise finish - a truly unique wine from a rare variety that reconnects past and present.

The Zacharias Sklava has earned consistent international recognition, with multiple medals at AWC Vienna and Mundus Vini, alongside a Silver Medal and 90 points at the IWSC - highlighting its quality and distinctive character across vintages.

Nemea, Greece

At the heart of Nemea, Zacharias Winery is a family-run estate with deep roots, first producing wine in 1962 and now one of the region’s oldest wineries. Since 1974, it has been led by winemaker Elias Zacharias, whose steady hand has shaped its evolution while staying true to its origins. The philosophy is simple: let place, grape, and time speak clearly in every bottle.

Their vineyards stretch across the Nemea PDO, at carefully chosen altitudes which bring freshness, structure and complexity. Limestone-rich soils and a balanced microclimate lend precision and clarity, giving the wines a strong sense of place.

In the vineyard, work is done by hand with a focus on sustainability and natural balance. In the cellar, the approach is thoughtful and restrained - preserving varietal character and terroir, with oak used sparingly to add texture and depth without ever overshadowing the wine.
