Mov Prephylloxera 2017, Petrakopoulos
Mavrodaphne is one of Greece’s most respected black grape varieties, capable of producing exceptional, world-class wines. Particularly noteworthy is the Mov by Petrakopoulos, which showcases the grape's potential alongside the region's pre-phylloxera vine treasures. Predominantly cultivated in the Peloponnese and Cephalonia, Mavrodaphne is often blended with other local varieties, resulting in complex, rich red wines. With its vibrant flavours and captivating aromatic profile, this wine is an exquisite companion to slow-roasted goat and can age beautifully in the cellar for several years.
