Mavrodaphne...like never before !!







Apart from Greece’s world-renowned and distinguished gems—Assyrtiko Santorini, Moschofilero Mantinia, Nemea Agiorgitiko, and Xinomavro Naoussa / Amynteo—there are several new, up-and-coming grape varieties which, depending on the type and style of wine they yield, show impressive potential and seem to be but a step away from having themselves acclaimed and established in worldwide wine affairs. 



Among these up-and-coming grape varieties are some of established status which are now being approached from new angles. Mavrodaphne is an example of such a variety. Although well-known and long-established as Greece’s native variety for the production of sweet wines, its vinification for the production of dry red wines is a relatively uncharted yet quite promising territory which firmly re-classifies Mavrodaphne as being among the up-and-coming grape varieties.


George Karelas  is undoubtedly one of the best producers of the classic sweet red fortified P.D.O. Mavrodaphne of Patras and his wines have been receiving many distinctions & awards at the most prestigious wine competitions around the world.

Taking a step beyond, George vinified Mavrodahpne grapes with a bit of Merlot which is cultivated in the region of western Achaia in vineyards that overlook the Ionian Sea (Pelagos) and gave to Mavrodaphne an all new perspective.

The wine is wonderfully smooth & round, its deep red  color catches the eye, while the aromas of red berries dominate in the nose and has an aftertaste to remember.

You may have tasted many Greek wines along the way, but I am sure that Pelagos will positively surprise you.
