A Greek varietal whose name literally translates as "black laurel." A heavy and powerful red, wine made from the Mavrodaphne is usually blended to make either dry or sweet styles. Most commonly found around the Patra region on the northern coast of Greece, or on the island of Caphalonia where it is made into a port-like dessert wine that has notes of plums, raisins, and of course, laurel.
