When we speak about rare and historic Greek red varieties, Mavroudi from Vourvoukelis Estate holds a special place. In the hands of the Vourvoukelis family, this native grape regains the prestige it deserves. With deep knowledge of the Thracian terroir and unwavering respect for the local viticultural heritage of Avdira, the estate produces a Mavroudi brimming with red fruit, dried herbs, and sweet spice. The 2020 vintage even earned a Silver Medal at the Thessaloniki Wine Trophy, confirming its rising reputation.
The vineyard is cultivated organically, on plots chosen after scientific study to ensure each variety expresses itself at its best. In the winery, Mavroudi is handled with care and craftsmanship. Thoughtful winemaking and excellent use of oak—12 months in French oak barrel—shape a wine of intensity, firm yet polished tannins, and vibrant fruit. It is certainly enjoyable now, but capable of ageing gracefully for 5–7 years.
Try it if you’re tired of drinking the same thing over and over. Mavroudi from Vourvoukelis Estate deserves a place on your table.
