Chocolate love story wine
It seems more and more that wine and love have prety much in common. Just finished talking about Romeo and Juliet, and now its time to find out about a bavarian called Gustav Clauss and his love for a greek girl called Daphne. Of course it’s a legend! But it’s a really nice one, telling us about the name of a wine. Mavrodafni is a greek wine initially vinified in large vats exposed to the sun. Once the wine reaches a certain level of maturity, fermentation is stopped. Then the Mavrodafni distillate and the wine, still containing residual sugar, is transfered to the underground cellars to complete its maturation. There it is “educated” by contact with older wine using the solera method of serial transfusions.
Mavrodafni presents aromas and flavours of caramel, chocolate, coffee, raisins and plums, and is one of the few wines that can accompagny chocolate-based desserts.
But wait! I haven’t told you the end of the love story… Well, Mavrodafni translates as “Black Laurel” but the legend I was talking about sais that the name of the wine was chosen by Clauss after his beloved Daphne. So, we could say it ended with a bottle of the finest wine.
