Location: Small vineyards around the Corinthian Gulf

Climate: Mild Mediterranean

Varietal composition: Mavrodaphne

Harvest: End of September

Classification: Mavrodaphne Protected Designation of Origin

Vinification techniques: The vinification is conducted until approximately half the sugars have been converted into alcohol. The fermentation is terminated with the addition of wine distillate to the fermented must, bringing the wine to 15% alcohol. It is then aged for at least one year in oak.

Character: Deeply coloured, with a hint of brick red. Its fine bouquet harmoniously blends the spicy aromas of plums with those of mocha and cocoa, accompanied by cinnamon and clove. A round and generous wine, its velvety sweetness envelopes the palate and reveals its rich aromatic character, with cocoa and a faint sense of vanilla. Full-bodied, well structured, with an alluring finish.

Serving suggestions: This wine makes a great aperitif and is also ideal with fresh fruit and fruit salads. Desserts also provide a great match – fruit pies and tarts, light puddings, plain cakes and sorbets.
