TAOS 2017 - PARPAROUSSIS WINERY

Taos Parparoussis Winery is one of the most important expressions of Mavrodaphne and the one that has created its own "school". Every time we try another Mavrodafne we will always compare it with Taos and that alone says a lot.

Thanasis Parparoussis is already a legend as he was one of the first to deal with the dry and forbidden version of Mavrodaphne. At the same time, he probably is the only winemaker in Greece who decided to seriously reduce his production in order to achieve his dream, which was none other than the production of the best wines in Greece. He studied oenology in Dijon, Burgundy, which as he says "is for wine what the Vatican is for the Catholic Church". He believed and invested in the Greek vineyard's potential, and history shows clearly that he was absolutely right. His wines are exported in their majority in some of the world's top markets and they are included in the wine lists of some of the finest restaurants in the world.

Taos Parparoussis Winery is the flagship of the winery. It is a dry version of Mavrodaphne, which matures for 24 months in French oak barrels and acquires a complex spicy profile. Its rich body and robust tannins make it an impressive wine, which can age extremely well.

Enjoy it with rich meaty dishes.

Taos Parparoussis Winery has deep ruby color and exuberant aromas of plum, black cherry, blueberry, sour cherry, vanilla, pepper, ink, chocolate, coffee, smoke and herbs.

In the mouth it has rich body, moderate (+) acidity and high tannins. Ripe black fruits are mixed with notes of iodine, laurel, cocoa, lavender, vanilla, cinnamon, licorice and cigar.
