The "Mavroudi" variety is counted among the oldest Greek grape varieties. Its name is associated with the characteristic feature of the grapes, namely their dark red color. This is a particular variety that displays rich aromas and at the same time, an intense tannic character, under correct vinification conditions. The micro-oxygenation process that takes place during its aging in oak barrels has as its result a wine with soft aromas of berries and notes of vanilla. A crimson color, with aromas such as those of cherry, strawberry, and aromatic herbs. Dry with a well-structured taste, pleasant acidity with rich tannins included. An intense aftertaste with good duration.
