A ruby-red color; an intense and rich nose redolent of black raisins; a full-bodied, rounded palate showcases the sweetness of dried raisins; the mouth is filled with marvelous Mavrodaphne notes, while the tongue receives a welcome surprise in the guise of this intensely pleasurable versatile wine.
Pair with fruit platters and yellow cheeses; also perfect accompaniment to chocolate delights. Enjoy as an aperitif or dessert wine but, above all, use as the basic ingredient in homemade sangria.
The House of Kourtakis is a family wine-making business that dates back to 1895. It was founded by Vassilis Kourtakis (1865-1946), who was the first person in Greece to obtain a diploma in oenology. He established his wine-making activity at Markopoulo, thirty kilometers to the northeast of Athens in the heart of one of the most celebrated wine growing regions of Greece – Attica. Today, Markopoulo remains the headquarters of Greek Wine Cellars, D. Kourtakis SA.
