	Mavrodafni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The principal producer of Mavrodafni wine is Achaia-Clauss, a winery founded by the Bavarian Gustav Clauss.
		Mavrodafni is initially vinified in large vats exposed to the sun.
		Mavrodafni is often used in the Greek Orthodox Church in Holy Communion.

	Mavrodafni
		Mavrodafni (also spelled Mavrodaphne) is both a dark wine grape, which is indigenous to the Achaia region in Northern Peloponnese, Greece, and the sweet, fortified wine produced by it.
		Mavrodafni presents aromas and flavors of caramel, chocolate, coffee, raisins and plums, and is one of the few wines that can accompany chocolate-based desserts.
		A certain quantity of these top "vintages" (a misnomer as solera wines do not have vintages as such) is retained by the winery and transferred to two room-sized, elaborately-carved 1882 casks named the George I and the Count Bismark (after two illustrious visitors to the winery that year).

	Chief Greek Red Grape Varieties
		Mavrodafni may be the best-known Greek red cultivar in Europe.
		The most well-known and common Achaia Clauss Mavrodafni is its Imperial label, a fortified sweet wine of usually 15% alcohol, aged for about six years, rich, raisiny, pleasantly bitter and red-leaning-towards-dark-amber in color.
		Since Achaia Clauss is not, by any means, the only producer of Mavrodafni within the zone, this means that one can shop for various styles from a number of local producers in addition to producers from outside the appellation area.

	Greek winemaker profiles: Achaia Clauss of Patras, Peloponessos
		Using the Mavrodafni, Clauss reestablished the wine grape as a viable regional crop (though the currant grape eventually found its way into both the winery's recipe and the eventual laws governing the appellation).
		The bold flavor of Mavrodafni is too challenging for some American wine drinkers, especially those whose encounters with red dessert wines began with the current crop of emasculated versions that inhabit the chocolate departments on trendy dessert menus.
		There is an enduring bitterness in Mavrodafni that appeals more to the European palate, one that challenges in youthful wine, but becomes a sublime counterpoint to its dense sweetness in aged versions.

		Mavrodafni, as the greek word suggests, is a very dark.
		Mavrodafni is very cheap in Greece, it's about 2 $ a bottle here.
		I believe that this is in line with an ancient practice of thining wine with water dating from an age before wine producing techniques had progresed to the point that wine itself was consistantly palatable.

		Ouzo and Tsipouro are what people imagine when Greek alcohol is the subject, but winemaking in Greece has a very long history.
		Good red and white wines were being produced in Greece before vines were introduced to the European continent, but somehow all Greek wines have been confused with the famous Retsina and Mavrodafni.
		Only in the past few decades have Greek wines begun to return to the international scene as contenders for the attention of serious wine drinkers.

		Recently, I had the pleasure of dining with the Kananis' at their home.
		This was my first taste of Greek hospitality, or "philoxinea," which, roughly translated, means "making a stranger feel at home." Theano Kananis served a wonderful meal of lamb a la youvechi, (a dish cooked in the oven), with village salad, Greek Mavrodafni wine, Greek coffee, and kataifi, a kind of pie, for dessert.
		I talked with Kananis and persuaded him to tell me the story of his experiences, and of his excitement about the future.
