Origin

The Mavrodaphne Sweet Dessert wine by Kourtaki is produced in Greece, a country renowned for its rich winemaking tradition and indigenous grape varieties.

Variety

This dessert wine is made exclusively from the Mavrodaphne grape, a native Greek black grape variety known for its deep color and aromatic profile.

Production

The production of Kourtaki’s Mavrodaphne Sweet Dessert involves careful harvesting of ripe grapes followed by controlled fermentation to preserve natural sugars. The wine is aged in oak barrels to develop complexity and smoothness, enhancing its characteristic sweet and rich profile.

  • Finish: Long, smooth, and lingering with a pleasant warmth.
