Mavrodaphne “601” Reserve
Clear look and deep amber colour with fruity aroma background, mixed dried fruit with intense hues of walnut. The flavours of sweet raisins, dried figs and dates are dominant and combined elegantly, while in terms of taste it unravels towards a finish that seems to carry these wonderful flavours to a long aftertaste
Mavrodaphne 601 Reserve is perfect as an aperitif, with nuts, dried prunes, and as a dessert wine, accompanying red fresh fruit excellently (e.g. strawberry, cherry) soft gruyere or blue cheeses, ice cream and sour cherry syrup, desserts with coffee and chocolate. Serve at 12-14°C.
