Gavalas 2014 Mavrotragano

Another indigenous varietal from Santorini that almost went extinct. “Mavro” translates to black and “tragano” translates to crispy. This describes the dark Berries from this varietal that have crispy, delicate skins. A wine with intense deep red color and ‘crisp’ acidity. Concentrated aromas of red fruits with hints of leather and tobacco, this red has very delicate and velvety tannins. Considered a prestigious red wine that not all the Santorini producers have the opportunity to make.

Alcohol percentage: 13.5

Tasting Notes

(Mavro) Black (tragano) crisp is a wine with intense deep red color and ‘crisp’ acidity. Concentrated aromas of red fruits (sour cherries, blackberries) and tobacco. Rich, dense full-body, spicy with ageing potential. Velvety tannins and long, metallic after taste.
