Anomon 2021 Oenops Wines is the latest creation of Nikos Karatzas, who never stops surprising us with his choices and his exceptional winemaking. This is how a dry expression of Mavrodaphne was born — crafted in his signature style, overflowing with finesse and pure, vibrant fruit. Rumour has it this wine is about to make waves.
Karatzas is constantly searching for outstanding vineyards and new challenges across Greece. In Macedonia, he discovered the site that would deliver the perfect fruit for Anomon 2021 Oenops Wines. After strict grape sorting, fermentation takes place — as always — with indigenous yeasts, and in this case in amphorae and large open-top barrels. The wine then matures in the same vessels for 10 months. It is bottled unfiltered, with minimal intervention, preserving its juicy, expressive character that remains vivid even five years later.
Bonus tip: The name “Anomon” is a clever wordplay by the winemaker, since current legislation does not allow the use of the name Mavrodaphne on a dry wine. A wine that goes… against the rules.
Try it and you’ll agree with us: Mavrodaphne can produce truly great dry wines.
