3 editor-picked Mavrodaphne producers across 2 regions.
A guide to Mavrodaphne worth seeking out, by region. We list the estates, how each region expresses the grape, and the bottles that show it best.
Based twelve kilometres from town in the hillside village of Rodochori at 540 metres, Argatia bottles a Naoussa PDO Xinomavro alongside PGI whites and reds from Malagousia, Assyrtiko, Negoska and Mavrodaphne.
Tasting: Open to visitors at the winery in Rodochori.
Tip: The Malagousia and Assyrtiko whites are a useful contrast to the region's Xinomavro-only PDO reds.
Hillside cellar at 540 metres in Rodochori village, about twelve kilometres from Naoussa town, that the estate lists on its own site as a visitable winery for tasting its indigenous-variety range.
Tip: Rodochori sits well above the town on the mountain road, so budget extra driving time getting up from central Naoussa.
A high volume cellar at Archaies Kleones, the first wine village on the road in from Corinth, with a visitor programme running seven days a week.
Tasting: Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 17:00. Bookings by phone or at [email protected]. Tasting, tours, meals and a shop.
