Mavroudi

A deep ruby red in color wine, fine typical example of Mavroudi variety grown in Northern Greece. On the nose, a powerful bouquet of red fruits, subtle spicy and vegetal notes (the latter especially when the wine is young).

Tasting note
A deep ruby red in color wine, fine typical example of Mavroudi variety grown in Northern Greece. On the nose, a powerful bouquet of red fruits, subtle spicy and vegetal notes (the latter especially when the wine is young). The palate balances the acidity with the red fruit character, while the notable tannins are blended with more elegant flavors of vanilla and sweet spices. Medium to long finish.

This remarkable story of 125-years captures signicant milestones of the Greek history and cherishes the will power of the human spirit. Through an adventurous route starting with the migration from homeland in early 20th century and the relocation in Serres and later on in Thessaloniki, today the Tsantali family carries on the family heritage rendering TSANTALI the major ambassador of Wines and Distillates from Greece around the globe.
