VARIETY
Agiorgitiko
Elegant red variety which ripens in our area in mid-September. Moderately vivid vine that, by following the suitable/proper viticultural practices in our region’s hot and dry climate, produces wines of high phenolic content.
Mavroudi
Local red variety ripening in mid-September. It bears a morphological resemblance to Agiorgitiko but produces smaller grapes, which have a very dark -almost black-color at the time of full ripening, from which their name [mavro=black] is derived.
