The wine region of Patras
PDO on the north coast of the Peloponnese (Achaia): Roditis is the signature white king (rosé-skinned, Greece's 2nd variety) — aromatic, light-bodied balance of acidity and freshness, vinified dry, semi-dry and medium sweet. Mavrodaphne as the signature naturally sweet fortified red PDO with a characteristic deep brown colour, complex and refined bouquet of raisins, figs, plums and walnuts, oak-aged minimum 1 year, up to 49% Mavri Korinthiaki.
The wine region of Peloponnesos
Southern Greece, the country's 2nd region by volume, high-altitude vineyards (200-900 m). Signature Agiorgitiko at Nemea ("Hercules' Blood"): deep ruby reds with signature notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, sweet spices and a balsamic touch, supple tannins and a velvety palate — fleshy and accessible. At Mantinia (600 m), pink-skinned Moschofilero gives aromatic whites (rose, citrus, white flowers). Sweet fortified Mavrodaphne, fresh Roditis.
The word of the wine: Downy mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Downy mildew is formidable because it attacks all the organs, from the stem to the grapes, including the leaves, in depth. It was against it that the famous copper and lime-based Bordeaux mixture was developed.
