Well-rounded and nuanced wine with a rich, savory profile, featuring a nose of bacon and meat that will appeal to those who enjoy substantial flavors. even as it may not be to everyone's taste, this wine is certainly not for the faint-hearted.
Jezwyn
Remarkable year for the estate's flagship varietal, with the 2020 vintage presenting a natural and effortless expression of the region's signature kefalonian mavrodafni. Best paired with grilled lamb, the wine's subtle nuances and classy lasting impression complement the island's terroir perfectly.
Weebee Sperto
Dry and fruit-forward rendition of the mavrodaphne grape, reminding of xinomavro but with a more pronounced fruit character. The nose is influenced by by red cherry, blackberry, and earthy notes, with a medium-bodied consistency that belies its dry nature. A good example of the grape's versatility, primarily in fortified Greek wines.
