If The Black Daphne of Papargyriou Winery was a woman, she would be an exuberant, brunette, femme fatale-spy who could even seduce James Bond with her personality and intoxicating floral scent! Mavrodaphne is the greatest challenge for every daring winemaker and Yiannis Papargyriou is definitely one of the daring, giving his best to The Black Daphne.
Papargyriou has been experimenting with the "forbidden" Greek variety, Mavrodaphne, for many years. It is forbidden because the strict Greek legislation forbids dry red wines to bear its name on the label. Yiannis Papargyriou, however, who loves it and believes in its potential, has not hesitated and so he named his Mavrodaphne with the code name The Black Daphne Papargyriou Winery.
The Mavrodaphne comes from a vineyard at 850 meters altitude at Sofiana. The wine ages for 12 months in 1000-liter barrels and then it is bottled unfiltered. Like all his wines, it has a juicy, intense character while at the same time, it has a romantic, fragile, feminine side that leaves no choice: once you try it, you will fall in love with it!
Since the production is very limited and as always, the bottles will disappear immediately, make yours as many as you can (for immediate enjoyment and for 10 years from today!).
