Tasting
Medium deep ruby color.
The spices and herbs of Mavrothirikos appear in the aroma, followed by the ripe fruit of Mavrotraganos and Mandilaria.
Medium-bodied taste with a good fruity feel surrounded by round tannins. Very nice and robust mouthfeel, but also a strong lasting aftertaste.
Matching
Goes well with light, lean meats and game. Excellent wine for fish: large fatty fish cooked with red sauce in the “plaki” oven or on the coals. Also large shellfish cooked in red wine sauce.
