MV MAVROUDI 2017 - ANATOLIKOS VINEYARDS

MV Mavroudi by Anatolikos Vineyards is back and is better than ever. What is it? An amazing red wine that contains 60% Mavroudi of Thrace*, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 100% pleasure.

Marios and Sakis Nikolaidis have proved that they succeed in both easy and tough situations. After winning their personal bet for a top Mavroudi, they knew exactly how to handle the special red variety to make the ultimate blend. The Bordeaux blend (Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot) fitted Mavroudi like a glove and emphasized its earthy and fruity characteristics. The organic, dry cultivation and the yields that do not exceed 400-500 kg per acre, ensure the excellent concentration of the fruit. The difficult sandy soil and the stony subsoil of the dry vineyard in the place of Hoirodasos harden the plants, while the constant cool sea breeze and the diurnal temperature variation contribute to the ideal and healthy development of the fruit. The blend of the three varieties matures in French oak barrels, with the fine wine lees, for 12 months, and then it is bottled unfiltered.

MV Mavroudi 2017 by Anatolikos Vineyards will definitely develop beautifully in the next 5 years, but who is waiting?

*It is said that Mavroudi wine was offered by Osysseas to the Cyclops Polyphemus.

It has a deep ruby color with purple hues and rich, expressive nose, full of juicy fruits. Blackberry, blueberry, and plum are dominating, while strawberry and cherry jam follows. Mint, vanilla, and cinnamon make gradually their appearance while leather and bitter chocolate complete the delightfully complex set.

Juicy, tasty on the palate, with moderate (+) body, balanced acidity, and masterfully built, medium tannins. Plum, cherry, and blackcurrant dominate while cocoa, licorice, and leather follow and along with a botanical sense of tea.
