Mavrodaphne of Patras, Cameo

The nose exhibits a powerful bouquet full of raisins and dates. On the palate a delicious concentrated attack of dried fruit flavours - raisins, prunes, figs and dates - is followed by good acidity that gives terrific support and backbone to the dessert wine. The fruit driven finish possesses wonderful length and delivers a mouthful of raisins at the very end that lingers on long after the finish proper has faded away. Best served chilled 7-9C

Soil types range from white, chalky soils at higher elevations to fertile sand and loam nearer the coast

TBC

The production of Mavrodaphne of Patra is being accomplished through classic way of red vinification, during which the alcoholic fermentation is interrupted, by addition of alcohol originated from wine, as soon as alcohol reaches at least 4%. This process is in common with the production of Portuguese Port wine.

Aged in barrel in a solera style process to balance the NV wine across harvests.
