Grape Variety

Mavrodaphne

Vinification Details

  • The grapes are harvested in August and sun-dried before pressing. Normal fermentation takes place and is arrested by the addition of a small quantity of grape spirit. This kills the yeast and thereby preserves the sugar content (at 130 gms/lit). The wine is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of one year using a ‘solera' system

History

  • Mavrodaphne of Patras is a traditional wine of Greece. It is made from grape varieties unique to Greece. The wine was first made famous by Gustav Clauss, a Bavarian, who came to Greece with the Bavarian prince, Otto, who was offered the Crown of Greece in the 1830s. In 1864 the Mavrodaphne was introduced - so called in memory of Gustav's fiancee, a black-haired Greek girl called Daphne, who had died before they were able to be married. In the succeeding 150 years it has become a famed wine of Greece.

Regional Information

  • The Mavrodaphne wine possesses a Protected Designation of Origin - Patras. It originates from vineyards on the low hills and lower slopes of the Peloponnesian mountains surrounding the city of Patras, from which it takes its full name, Mavrodaphne of Patras. The vineyards overlook the Gulf of Patras and are kept cool during the hot summer days by the onshore sea breezes. The soil is generally alluvial clay underlain by limestone.

This wine is heaven in a bottle. Sweet and velvet

5 stars

This wine is heaven in a bottle. Sweet and velvety with no shuddery tang; like the juice from a basket of soft red fruits left out in the sun but surprisingly strong too! Lovely any time but especially on a cold winter day, sat near the fire. A must-buy and have a look at their web site; very interesting. I'll never stop buying this.

A friend had this wine I tried it and it is lovely

One of my 2 all time favourite wines!

5 stars

One of my 2 all time favourite wines. This one is lovely and sweet and almost come accross as an adults version of the kids squash Vimto. Very easy drinking with no dry or harsh bitterness I find most wines taste. Hardly in stock at my store so when it is I like to treat myself. Definately worth it's price, if you've got a sweet tooth then you won't be disappointed with this one!

Good strong red sweet wine, port like taste.

My wine to go to.

5 stars

My favourite red wine of all. Warm, mellow and rich in flavour. Tried it years ago in store for Christmas. I always had to add lemonade to red wine before, finding any red wine too sour for my taste. When I tried this one it was a Eureka moment! Divine and always leaves me wanting more.

Perfect dessert wine

5 stars

Lovely sweet wine with plenty of depth. Great for a tipple or as a dessert wine. Still holds its flavour after being open for a week as long as it is sealed.

Incredible wine.
