Grape Varietals & Region: 60% Mavroudi, 20% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. From a certified organic vineyard located on the dry hills of Avdira city with an altitude of 50–70 meters and approximately 5 km away from the Thrace Sea. The terrain is sandy with continuous cool northeast winds. Avdira’s microclimate contributes decisively in the production of high-quality products.
Taste Profile: Deep ruby red colour with purple hues. The bouquet offers ripe dark plums and black berry fruit mingling with layers of tobacco, leather and coffee. The fruit-forward palate has blackberry, blueberry and plum flavours dominating. This follows with strawberry and cherry jam, a strong splash of vanilla and hints of cinnamon, liquorice and bitter chocolate. Dry, juicy flavours in the mouth with soft-textured tannins, balanced acidity and a long, complex chocolate finish.
Winemaking Process: Harvest by hand in small baskets. Fermentation in French oak barrels for 12 months. No filtering or any other treatments before bottling. Enjoy within 5–7 years from vintage.
