WINE DESCRIPTION
Mercouri Estate Chortais is a sweet, aged red dessert wine produced using sun-cured grapes of varieties Mavrodaphne and Corinth Currant in which the fermentation process has been interrupted to retain the natural sweetness of the grapes. The wine is later transferred into French oak barrels where it matures for around 8 years before it is bottled.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Mercouri Estate Chortais is has a deep colour with tawny reflections at the rim.The nose is rich and intense with perfumes of chocolate, plum and caramel to the fore. Powerful and harmoniously structured the wine is full-bodied with delicate tannins and a lasting aftertaste of hazelnut and chocolate. The sweetness and luscious texture is seamlessly balanced by the fresh acidity on the finish.
