DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Achaia Clauss was founded in 1861 by the Bavarian Gustav Clauss near Patras, in the Peloponnese of Greece. The winery is most famous for this wine, Mavrodaphne of Patras, a sweet fortified red.
Mavrodaphne is a dark local grape, and the wine is fortified to about 15% alcohol. In the glass it is clear ruby, turning amber-orange at the rim. Expect plum and stone fruit on the nose, with hay and herbal notes. The palate is sweet, with black raisin and warming spice, held in balance by bright, tart acidity. Sweet and rich, but not heavy.
Serve it slightly cool, around 60F, in a small dessert wine glass. Pour it after dinner with dark chocolate, walnut cake, baklava or dried figs, or with aged cheeses. Once open, keep it in a cool place and finish it within a few weeks.
Bottle size: 750ml
